Error in creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactoryBean'

I got the following exception in my first spring transaction exercise :

}
}
Why did this exception happen??

Actually, your problem has nothing to do with Spring or Transactions.
As your stacktrace shows, you have a problem somewhere with your Hibernate mapping:
...
caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException:
Unknown mappedBy in: com.entity.Document.person, referenced property unknown: com.entity.Person.x
...

The stack trace is telling you enough. I have the same problems and solved it by renaming "datasource" to "dataSource". That thing is case sensitive so be careful. Hope that helps.

Configuting Spring with Hibernate.Error creating bean with name 'usersDao': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'sessionFactory'

I am trying to configure Spring 4 with Hibernate 5.Made a google research but it didn't help. I am launching my app with JUnit test, just to see if Hibernate works.
Error creating bean with name 'usersDao': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'sessionFactory': Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [ConfigTest/datasource.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.<init>(Lorg/hibernate/boot/MetadataSources;)V; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [ConfigTest/datasource.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.<init>(Lorg/hibernate/boot/MetadataSources;)V

</property>
</bean>
</beans>
</beans>
Also When I use Hibernate 4 I face an error :
Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'offersDao': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/cache/spi/RegionFactory
but I do have RegionFactory at that address:
enter image description here
Thanful in advance!

It appears that the packagesToScan property wants an array.
In your case, I suppose it would look like this...
<property name="packagesToScan">
<array>
<value>DAO</value>
</array>
</property>
Or maybe simply...
<property name="packagesToScan" value="DAO" />

The problem was in compatability of versions. So I used Spring 4.0.3.RELEASE and Hibernate 4.3.5.Final and the error is gone.
Also I had an error : no current session found. So I've refractored a little a transaction bean :
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven />

The persistence.xml is located in src/META-INF, which is in the build path, so it should be found properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I usually place the persistence.xml in a resources folder /src/main/resouces/META-INF/persistence.xml because I do remember problems in the build not copying the resources to the output-directory.
I just had a look at our configuration and it looks a little different:
<!--

-->
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven mode="aspectj" proxy-target-class="true" />
<!--
Custom PersistenceUnitManager, that reads all persistence.xml files in the
classpath and merges them to one single virtual persistence.xml.
In order to operate properly, all persistence.xml have to define the same
persistence unit name.

keep your persistence.xml in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml
remove hibernate conflicting libraries....
remove hibernate - 3.2.0 jar if hibernate core is there

place the persistence.xml in a resources folder /src/main/resouces/META-INF/persistence.xml for me it's work this solution

This error can happen if you have a hibernate mapped class with relations with another non-mapped class, a solution is to check the relation item as #transient (hibernate will ignore it, use this just to check if this is the error, and later map the related class). Example:
#Entity
public class City {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
private String name;
#Transient
private State state;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public State getState() {
return state;
}
public void setState(State state) {
this.state = state;
}
}
And this is the non-mapped class which may give the error:
public class State {
private String name;
}

Error creating bean if have #Repository or a PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor bean

I am a rookie in spring and I am learning spring using the book Spring Recipes: A problem solution approach by Gary Mak.
Anyway I had this problem while using
PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor.

but when i comment out #Repository annotation on EmployeeDaoImpl or if I comment out PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor bean declaration, then the applicationContext loads properly.
<!-- <bean class="org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor" /> -->
or
//#Repository
public class EmployeeDaoImpl implements EmployeeDao{
...........
}
I would like to know why this is happening. Could anyone please explain me this.

Type of HibWorker.employeeDaoImpl is EmployeeDaoImpl, therefore exception translation proxy of type HibernateDao can't be assigned to it.
Generally it's a bad practise to restrict implementation of dependencies this way, you should use interface (EmployeeDao) when declaring dependencies instead. If you follow that way, you also don't need proxy-target-class = "true" on <tx:annotation-driven>.
Alternative solution is to enable target class proxying for PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor.
