[FIXED] Class org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.localsessionfactorybean not found despite being up to date

Issue

I've circled some answers around the web, but many say to just update the pom file's dependencies, which I've done. Up to this point, I don't know what to do anymore. Here is the pom's details and dependencies:

<properties>
    <endorsed.dir>${project.build.directory}/endorsed</endorsed.dir>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.2.RELEASE</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.2.RELEASE</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.10.RELEASE</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.2.RELEASE</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.2.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
        <version>7.0</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>5.4.2.Final</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-dbcp</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-dbcp</artifactId>
        <version>1.4</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

and here is just the part of my servlet-context that uses the "missing" class:

<beans:bean id="hibernate5AnnotatedSessionFactory"
                class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.localsessionfactorybean">
    <beans:property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <beans:property name="annotatedClasses">
        <beans:list>
            <beans:value>net.quarksoft.springmvc.model.Users</beans:value>
        </beans:list>
    </beans:property>
    <beans:property name="hibernateProperties">
        <beans:props>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
            </beans:prop>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</beans:prop>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</beans:prop>
        </beans:props>
    </beans:property>
</beans:bean>

I've seen and found that the spring-orm from 4.1.3 and ahead support hibernate 5, both of which are in the pom as the spring-orm version 5.1.2 and as hibernate-core 5.4.2. In my dependencies folder there are no clashing versions of the same class, so that's not the problem. Any and all help is useful.

Solution

Well, the class name should be case sensitive which means it should be :

    <beans:bean id="hibernate5AnnotatedSessionFactory"
                    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
