simple Mybatis + Spring setup - MalformedParameterizedTypeException

[blackfrancis]

I'm trying to set up Mybatis with Spring as follows:

<beans>
<bean id="sqlSessionFactory"
class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="tms.dataSource" />
</bean>
<bean id="tms.dataSource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.postgresql.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/mydb" />
<property name="username" value="postgres" />
<property name="password" value="postgres" />
</bean>
<bean id="employeeMapper"
class="org.mybatis.spring.MapperFactoryBean">
<property name="sqlSessionFactory" ref="sqlSessionFactory" />
<property name="mapperInterface"
value="com.mycompany.enterprise.dao.EmployeeMapper" />
</bean>
</beans>

when I load the ApplicationContext, my program throws the following
exception:

Exception in thread "main"
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error
creating bean with name 'sqlSessionFactory' defined in class path
resource [applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed;

Can someone please help me work out why?

The problem was that I had Spring v2 jars in my classpath instead of
Spring v3.
