getHibernateTemplate().find出现异常，请各位大虾来看下是什么情况～～
一个小程序，在application中测试能完成，代码如下：

final ApplicationContext ctx = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
final SessionFactory sessionFactory = (SessionFactory)ctx.getBean("localsessionfactory");

public void nametest(){

HibernateTemplate template=new HibernateTemplate(this.sessionFactory);
EmployeeTableDAO employee = new EmployeeTableDAO();

EmployeeTable employeetable = new EmployeeTable();

employee.setHibernateTemplate(template);
if(employee.findByNameAndPass("hello", "hello").size()>0){
System.out.println("1");
System.out.println(employee.findByNameAndPass("hello", "hello").size());

}else{
System.out.println("2");
}
}

但是在web里面就有问题，代码如下：

 if(employee.findByNameAndPass("hello", "hello").size()>0){
// request.setAttribute("result" , "您已经成功登陆系统");
System.out.println("login success!");
return mapping.findForward("loginsuccess");

}else{
// request.setAttribute("result" , "不存在该用户或者用户名和密码不符");
System.out.println("login failed!");
return mapping.findForward("login");
}

调用的findByNameAndPass方法在EmployeeTableDAO类中，代码如下：
public List findByNameAndPass(String name, String pass) {
String[] args = {name,pass};
return getHibernateTemplate().find("from EmployeeTable where empName = ? and empPass = ?", args);
}

测试的application和web用的都是同一个applicationContext.xml配置文件，在web应用中也在struts-config.xml中进行了配置，配置文件如下：
 <plug-in className="org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn">
  <set-property property="contextConfigLocation" 
value="WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml" />
</plug-in>

现在的问题是同样的配置，同样的代码，在application里面可以通过，但在web里面就有问题，报错如下：
