Spring and hibernate are integrated automatically - spring provides enough on that part. Perhaps you can use the EntityManager (annotated with @PersistenceContext) instead of HibernateTemplate.

The JSF integration is done via registering a special ELResolver that resolves managed beans from the spring context.

An example how to do all this can be found here - checkout the project and see how it is configured.
