Error on configuration of JNDI lookup for WebLogic + Spring

I'm migrating an application from OC4J to WebLogic 12c and the Spring beans are giving an error I can't figure out how to solve. My question is what can be the cause of this error.
I have the following bean for the JNDI lookup:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="${datasource.jndiname}" />
<property name="lookupOnStartup">
<value>false</value>
</property>
<property name="proxyInterface">
<value>javax.sql.DataSource</value>
</property>
</bean>
The value ${datasource.jndiname} is expected to come from a config.properties file with the following line:
server.database.datasource=${datasource.jndiname}
And the value of server.database.datasource comes from a config.filter file with the line:
server.database.datasource=jdbc/DATASOURCE
This works fine with OC4J and it also works when I replace the ${datasource.jndiname} to its value jdbc/DATASOURCE in WebLogic, but it gives me the following error if I keep the reference (and I need to keep it):
JndiObjectTargetSource failed to obtain new target object; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup '${datasource.jndiname}' didn't find subcontext '${datasource'. Resolved ''; remaining name '${datasource/jndiname}'

After some research, I found a property for the bean that fixed the error. Setting the property resourceRef to false makes the reference ${datasource.jndiname} work as expected.
In the final code shown below I also added a JndiTemplate.
<bean id="dsJndiTemplate" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
<property name="environment">
<props>
<prop key="java.naming.provider.url">t3://localhost:7001</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="${datasource.jndiname}" />
<property name="resourceRef" value="false"/>
<property name="lookupOnStartup" value="false"/>
<property name="proxyInterface" value="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<property name="jndiTemplate">
<ref local="dsJndiTemplate" />
</property>
</bean>

Transaction with Spring and Mybatis

I have this mapper-config.xml.There is the DAO and the BLM fot the Game class:
<bean id="DAOGame" class="it.certimeter.nagima.dao.game.DAOGame">
<property name="sqlSessionFactory" ref="sqlSessionFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="BLMGameTarget" class="it.certimeter.nagima.blm.game.BLMGame">
<property name="daoGame" ref="DAOGame" />
</bean>
And the bean for the transaction:
<bean class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean" id="BLMGame">
<property name="proxyInterfaces">
<list>
<value>it.certimeter.nagima.blm.game.IBLMGame</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="transactionManager">
<ref bean="transactionManager"/>
</property>
<property name="target">
<ref bean="BLMGameTarget"/>
</property>
<property name="transactionAttributes">
<props>
<prop key="saveGame">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED, -it.fondsai.jeffs.core.exception.service.appl.JeffsServiceApplException</prop>
</props>
</property>
<!-- <property name="anonymousAccess" value="true"/> -->
</bean>
But I have this error:
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [it.certimeter.nagima.blm.game.IBLMGame] is defined: expected single matching bean but found 2: BLMGameTarget,BLMGame
Where am I wrong??

Yeah, the issue with what Ben commented on. I just ran into this myself the other day.
This issue brings a bad code smell with it, but if you want a workaround, I would suggest the following:
Go to where you #Autowire your IBLMGame instance. In addition to the #Autowire annotation, you can provide a #Qualifier annotation and give a String value that represents the bean name you actually want wired in.
So for your case, it could look something like this:
#Autowired
#Qualifier("BLMGameTarget") // you can substitute in "BLMGame" if that's the bean you want
IBLMGame iblmGame;

Java Invalid bean definition with name 'dataSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]:

HI I'm following a youtube tutorial , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdYQOqxq9F0 Add,Edit,Delete,Search using Spring and Hibernate
getting this error,
ERROR: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - Context initialization failed

You don't seem to have a property named jdbc.driverClassName in your properties file.
It should probably be
jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

you have committed mistake in these lines
p:driverClassName="${jdbc.driverClassName}"
p:url="${jdbc.databaseurl}" p:username="${jdbc.username}" p:password="${jdbc.password}"
compare your jdbc.properties file in your directory.
example jdbc.properties content:
Dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect// for jdbc use this. Driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/StudentDB
Username=root
Password=root
In ApplicationContext.xml, it should be like this
<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
p:driverClassName="${Dialect}"
p:url="${Url}"
p:username="${Username}"
p:password="${Password}" />

hibernate.cfg.xml and applicationContext.xml

I have a small application using Spring3, Hibernate4 and JSF2.
So far in my application I do not have hibernate.cfg.xml file, I have used Spring applicationContext.xml for scanning classes and annotations for Entity class.
applicationContext.xml

What I would like to do is add hibernate.cfg.xml into my application, I know it is not mandatory if I have applicaionContext.xml exists.
The reason why I would want to include is because I would like to specify the following in hibernate.cfg.xml in order to resolve the issue of
org.hibernate.QueryException: ClassNotFoundException:
org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.HqlToken
See this for details of exceptions I am getting
<property name="hibernate.query.factory_class" value="org.hibernate.hql.classic.ClassicQueryTranslatorFactory">
</property>
As I already have the following in applicationContext.xml, how best I could use hibernate.cfg.xml? Any help is highly appreciable.
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>net.test.model.Request</value>
</list>
</property>
Update 1
Error creating bean with name 'requestDAOImpl': Injection of autowired dependencies

.

Have you tried to set *hibernate.query.factory_class* property using Spring's application.xml like this?:
<bean id="SessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
...
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.query.factory_class">org.hibernate.hql.internal.classic.ClassicQueryTranslatorFactory</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
It seems to me that this should work without explicitly using hibernate.cfg.xml.

Properties aren't resolved in Spring context XML

I'm creating my Spring context inside a static main method with
return new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
Inside applicationContext.xml I'm wiring one of my beans with
<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.SingleConnectionDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName">
<value>${db.driverclassname}</value>
</property>
...
</bean>
I've got a .properties file on my class path that contains the value db.driverclassname.
Unfortunately I'm getting the following error:
Property 'driverClassName' threw exception;
nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Could not load JDBC driver class [${db.driverclassname}]
What am I doing wrong? I'm using Spring 2.5.5

Don't you need a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer ?
e.g.
<bean id="propertyConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
<value>classpath:project.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
This article details usage.

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:your.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true"/>
</bean>
