org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread

getCurrentSession() only makes sense inside a scope of transaction.

You need to declare an appropriate transaction manager, demarcate boundaries of transaction and perform data access inside it. For example, as follows:

<bean id = "transactionManager" class = "org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name = "sessionFactory" ref = "sessionFactory" />
</bean>

.

PlatformTransactionManager ptm = context.getBean(PlatformTransactionManager.class);
TransactionTemplate tx = new TransactionTemplate(ptm);

tx.execute(new TransactionCallbackWithoutResult() {
    public void doInTransactionWithoutResult(TransactionStatus status) { 
        // Perform data access here
    }
});
