I tried for Springframework to interact with Oracle9i using apache's ojb throw spring beans.
 i had given OJB-repository.xml as
<descriptor-repository version="1.0">
 <jdbc-connection-descriptor
   jcd-alias="oraSource" default-connection="true"
   platform="Oracle9i" jdbc-level="3.0" useAutoCommit="1" username="scott" password="tiger">
    <object-cache
class="org.apache.ojb.broker.cache.ObjectCachePerB rokerImpl">
    </object-cache>
    <connection-pool maxActive="10" maxIdle="2" maxWait="3"
validationQuery=""
     logAbandoned="true" removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="8"/>
    </jdbc-connection-descriptor>

   <class-descriptor class="com.htc.springdemos.ojbs.StudentVO" table="STUDENTS">
      <field-descriptor name="stuId" column="STU_ID" primarykey="true" autoincrement="true"/>
  <field-descriptor name="stuName" column="STU_NAME" />
  <field-descriptor name="course" column="COURSE" />
        </class-descriptor>
</descriptor-repository>

in the ojb.properties i had given
ConnectionFactoryClass=org.springframework.orm.ojb .support.TransactionAwareDataSourceConnectionFacto ry as the only change

in beans.xml file (ojb1.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

      <prop key="*">
         PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,readOnly
       </prop>
    </props>
   </property>
   </bean>
</beans>


but when i run it is constantly giving only one error

[java] caused by:java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Bean Factory

Configuration-LocalOjbConfigurer must be defined as Spring bean

  please can any one suggest where the mistake is
