I am very new to Spring + Hibernate, and I'm running tests to check if my DAOs are working. I get the following error, which when searching on Google gives a lot of different answers (mostly typos, which I checked). I hope you can help me with this:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext at org.springframework.test.context.TestContext.getApplicationContext(TestContext.java:308) at org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.injectDependencies(DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.java:109) at org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.prepareTestInstance(DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.java:75) at org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager.prepareTestInstance(TestContextManager.java:321) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.createTest(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:220) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner$1.runReflectiveCall(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:301) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:15) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.methodBlock(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:303) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:240) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:49) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:193) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:52) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:191) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:42) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:184) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.statements.RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks.evaluate(RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks.java:61) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.statements.RunAfterTestClassCallbacks.evaluate(RunAfterTestClassCallbacks.java:70) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:236) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.run(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:180) at org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.run(JUnitCore.java:157) at com.intellij.junit4.JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.startRunnerWithArgs(JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.java:71) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:199) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:62) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:120) Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'nominationDao' defined in file [C:\IdeaProjects\Projects\branch\dev\test-dataacess\target\classes\com\dev\test\data\dao\hibernate\NominationHibernateDAO.class]: Instantiation of bean failed;

What could be the reason for this? Please let me know if I have editing in my AbstractHibernateDAO and NominationHibernateDAO.
Thanks!
Edit fragments here:
This is a snippet for AbstractHibernateDAO, line 50 - from the comment:
public abstract class AbstractHibernateDAO<T, K extends Serializable> implements DAO<T, K> { protected Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass()); private SessionFactory sessionFactory; private Class<T> persistentClass; protected AbstractHibernateDAO(SessionFactory sessionFactory) { this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory; this.persistentClass = (Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType)
Line 36 is followed by a comment on this snippet for NominationHibernateDAO:
@Repository("nominationDao") public class NominationHibernateDAO<T extends Nomination> extends AbstractHibernateDAO<T,Integer> implements NominationDAO<T> { @Autowired(required = true) public NominationHibernateDAO(SessionFactory sessionFactory) { super(sessionFactory);
