[SOLVED] Bean property ‘configurationClass’ is not writable or has an invalid setter method

If you are trying to setup your project/ or adding dependency for hibernate 4 then you might face this error in your server logs.

Stack-trace will be looking like this:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'employeeDAO': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.hibernate.SessionFactory com.howtodoinjava.dao.EmployeeDaoImpl.sessionFactory; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/employee-servlet.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'configurationClass' of bean class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean]: Bean property 'configurationClass' is not writable or has an invalid setter method.

Solution:

If you have anything like below declaraions in your hibernate configuration for “sessionFactory” then remove it.

<property name="configurationClass">
	<value>org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration</value>
</property>

OR

<property name="configurationClass">
	<value>org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration</value>
</property>

Once you will remove above declaration from “sessionFactory”, you will not see this problem again. This was valid till hibernate 3, but not in hibernate 4.


A complete usage of this solution can be looked at: Spring 3 + Hibernate Integration

  1. I am new to Hibernate, I have a Problem,

    How to resolve the Exception “com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: Data source rejected establishment of connection”?

    my application uses Hibernate. I am working on an ITS(Intelligent Transport System) So here every 10 seconds I have track the position(latitude, longitude) of bus. I call a ajax method every 10 sec which makes request to servlet. My application works fine for some time period, after that it shows error as ,

    I am not getting how to resolve it. I searched many resource and found that it is about managing connection pool in hibernate configuration file.

    So here is my Hiberenate configuration file.


    com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bus_serverdb
    root
    root


    1


    org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect


    org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider


    true


    <!– create –>

    Can any one tell me what are the changes I have to do and why?

    • I am not sure why this exception is happening to your application but “Too many connections” usually suggest two things:
      1) No. of connections in pool needs to be increased to cater application’s genuine needs
      2) Your code is faulty and does not close the connections some of the times. I will suggest you to close the connections in finally blocks if you are not doing it already; AND debug the application to see if some exceptions are happening before actually closing the connections.

      • Here is my sample code,

        Session sessio = HibernateSession.getHibernateSession();
        Transaction transaction = sessio.beginTransaction();
        try {
        //coding stuff.

        }
        catch (Exception e) {
        if (transaction!=null) transaction.rollback();
        e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
        sessio.close();
        }

        Here everything works fine only for some particular time period.

  2. Is it possible to change LocalSessionFactoryBean’s dataSource dynamically?

    I have defined it correclty in spring’s configuration file, and there is tied TransactionManager, TransactionProxyFactoryBean, and some Dao’s to it, and i need to copy rows from one datasource to another.

    The interesting point is, that we define that destination datasource runtime, and so i cannon’t define it to configuration file.

    I tried get LocalSessionFactoryBean from ApplicationContext by getBean(String) method, but it returned SessionFactory, where i cannon’t change datasource..

  3. As per my requirement i need to create Excel Report. In that report some cell should have formula. I tried to set formula for particular cell like below i got org.apache.poi.ss.formula.FormulaParser.parse Exception in line no 3. Kindly help me on this

    1 .String ref = (char)(‘E’ ) + “10:” + (char)(‘I’) + “10”;
    2. dataCell.setCellType(Cell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA);
    3 .dataCell.setCellFormula(“SUM(” + ref + “)”);

    Full Error Log:

    • Really hard to solve without context. General way is:

      String strFormula= "SUM(A1:A10)";
      cell.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA);
      cell.setCellFormula(strFormula);

      Now why are you using “char” with E and i. What are the values you are trying to sum?
