Using @Transactional annotation for hibernate application resulting in error

I am trying to integrate spring with hibernate this morning. I want to use spring transaction manager. But getting the below error. The error has something to do with @Trasactional Annotation. If i remove the annotation,im able to get the bean from the spring container.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy19 cannot be cast to com.hibernate.dao.EvntDAOImpl
at com.hibernate.action.HibernateAction.main(HibernateAction.java:17)

Im pasting below my source code.
