Answer 2

Thanks to Mark While I am doing the same problem

1. Sometimes eclipse will add spring 2.5 jar from local/.m2 Delete it from build path, or even you add spring 4.1, it will still use spring 2.5

2 You should have spring orm dependency in you Maven-dependency add this to pom.xml

 <dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
   <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

Hibernate 4 support was added to Spring Framework in 3.1.

Your pom.xml references Spring Framework 2.5.6 hence org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean does not exist. You need to update your pom.xml to reference Spring Framework 3.1 or later.
