'sessionFactory' or 'hibernateTemplate' is required

Spring boot:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'personService' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'personDao' while setting bean property 'dao'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'personDao' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'sessionFactory' or 'hibernateTemplate' is required

Solución: definir en el xml el bean "sessionFactory" para que se cablee a los beans que lo necesitan
