Spring + Hibernate DAO injection fails in Netbeans

I have controller class LoginData.java

@Controller
@ManagedBean(name = "login")
@SessionScoped
public class LoginData implements Serializable{

@Autowired
private LoginDAO loginDao;

private String username;
private String password;

public String getUsername() {
    return username;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
}

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}

public void validateUser(){
    try{
        loginDao.login(username, password);
    }catch(BusinessException e){
    }
}

}

I am trying to autowire this Dao and its implementation:

LoginDAO

public interface LoginDAO {

    public boolean login(String username, String password)throws BusinessException;

    public boolean register(String username, String password, UserType type)throws BusinessException;

}

LoginDAOImpl

public class LoginDAOImpl implements LoginDAO{

private String username;
private String password;

private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

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

@Override
public boolean login(String username, String password) throws BusinessException{
    Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(
            "SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.username=:un");
    query.setParameter("un", username);
    if(query.list().size()==0)throw new BusinessException("No user in database!");
    User user = (User)(query.list().get(0));
    return getHashMD5(password).equals(user.getPassword());
}

@Override
public boolean register(String username, String password, UserType type) throws BusinessException{
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
}

public static String getHashMD5(String string) throws BusinessException{
    try {
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
        BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(1, md.digest(string.getBytes()));
        return bi.toString(16);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        throw new BusinessException(ex.getMessage());
    }
}

}

I am also trying to inject sessionFactory in DAO implementation, I don't know if this code will work. My xml for configuration:

dispatcher-servlet.xml

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/>

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
    <property name="mappings">
        <props>
            <prop key="index.htm">indexController</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="viewResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
      p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
      p:suffix=".jsp" />

<!--
The index controller.
-->
<bean name="indexController"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController"
      p:viewName="index" />

<bean id="loginDAO" class="rs.ac.bg.etf.services.LoginDAOImpl"/>

I get null pointer exception when dao method is called in controller from JSF form. Anyone knows what could be the problem? PS: xml files are mostly generated by Netbeans IDE.
