You are mixing Spring 4.2.5 and 2.5 never mix versions of a framework. — M. Deinum

Deinum - thanks for the response. are you referring spring-test version. I have removed that version now. still facing same issue — mike

Do a mvn dependency:tree check the versions of the different spring jars. Something is pulling in a conflicting version somewhere. — M. Deinum

You should check your dependencies. One problem is your spring-test dependency: it has an old incompatible version and it is not in scope test!

The ResourceEditorchanged between 2.5 and 4.2, the old constructor ResourceEditor(ResourceLoader) is no longer available but instead ResourceEditor(ResourceLoader,PropertyResolver).

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
  <version>4.2.5.RELEASE</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

In your current setup I would assume you will have two versions of Spring framework (2.5 and 4.2.5) in your dependencies. Have a look using mvn dependency:tree before and after changing the spring-test dependency above.

If you have a doupt on your dependecies, I recommand to build a web project skeleton from https://start.spring.io/, import it to your workspace and check the Dependency Hiearchy tab of your pom.xml.

See the example: inputs to generate a spring mvc 4.2.5 tomcat 7 project test, hibernate... are included The configs, even your web.xml are initialized by annotations. you can avoid the spring-servlet by initializing through annotation,
Exmanple Hibernate:

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan({ "com.yourpackage.configuration" })
@PropertySource(value = { "classpath:application.properties" })
public class HibernateConfiguration {`` 

    @Autowired
    private Environment environment;

    @Bean
    public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory() {
        LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
        sessionFactory.setDataSource(dataSource());
        sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "com.yourpackage.model" });
        sessionFactory.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties());
        return sessionFactory;
     }

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClassName(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
        dataSource.setUrl(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.url"));
        dataSource.setUsername(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.username"));
        dataSource.setPassword(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.password"));
        return dataSource;
    }

    private Properties hibernateProperties() {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("hibernate.dialect", environment.getRequiredProperty("hibernate.dialect"));
        properties.put("hibernate.show_sql", environment.getRequiredProperty("hibernate.show_sql"));
        properties.put("hibernate.format_sql", environment.getRequiredProperty("hibernate.format_sql"));
        return properties;        
    }

    @Bean
    @Autowired
    public HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager(SessionFactory s) {
       HibernateTransactionManager txManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
       txManager.setSessionFactory(s);
       return txManager;
    }
}

For the viewResolver:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages="com.yourpackage")
@EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{

    @Bean
    public ViewResolver getViewResolver(){
        InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
        resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
        resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
        return resolver;
    }
}

Use the Dependency Hiearchy as a reference to be sure you're not missing any dependency.
For tomcat you can omit the dependecies since you have your localown server.
