La pregunta no es un duplicado ya que Hibernate está involucrado

Como la respuesta de James resolvió parcialmente el problema, lo acepté y abrí una nueva pregunta, por favor, sigaaquí

Estoy tratando de inyectar SessionFactory en una clase de repositorio; sin embargo, parece que no funciona ya que el código devuelve la excepción NullPointer. Limpié y reconstruí el proyecto pero el problema aún existe. También puse @Autowired en el método setSessionFactory pero no ayudó.

Interfaz

public interface TestRep {
public void get(int id);
}

Clase

@Repository
public class TestRepImpl implements TestRep{

    @Autowired
    SessionFactory sessionFactory;


    public TestRepImpl() {

    }

    public TestRepImpl(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
    }

    public SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
    }

    @Transactional
    public void get(int id) {
        String hql = "from Business where id=" + id;
        Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(hql);
         ....
