Spring is telling you exactly what the problem is, you just have to read the log and nested error message:

Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': FactoryBean which is currently in creation returned null from getObject

A bit of Google searching suggests that this error message is usually the result of a circular dependency, and also led to a mailing list post that recommends removing default-autowire="detect" from your <beans> element.
