Error creating bean with name 'hibernate4AnnotatedSessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource

Question

I`ve started learning JSF, and i have configured it with hibernate and spring. Tomcat does not throw "Error Error creating bean with name 'hibernate4AnnotatedSessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource"

Here`s my appContext.xml:

You don't configure JSF to use spring and hibernate. JSF has no knowledge of either of them. — Kukeltje

As you can see in log

nested exception is org.hibernate.AnnotationException: No identifier specified for entity: users.Users

So the most probably that you are missing a field annotated with @Id for Users entity.
