How to cure 'NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type' error?

I am trying to migrate my application spring configuration from xml to annotations. Therefore I have made some changes. First I started with DAO layer, then I would do the Service layer and then the Web layer. After migrating all DAO objects and replacing the XML-based configuration by @Repository annotations, I am getting this error message :

Modify Spring's context file applicationContext.xml to scan the package of your DAO classes as well. The related line should read:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.uni.db.dao, com.uni.web" />

Be aware to add further packages here if required in the context of your application.

Thus, Spring will scan the DOA-package and consider ActivityDaoImpl a candidate for auto-wiring of the field activityDao in the service class ActivityServiceImpl.

You could also use a pattern based approach:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.uni">
   <context:include-filter type="regex" expression="(dao|service|web)\..*"/>
</context:component-scan>

See, also this post for reference on using multiple sub-packages in component-scan.

Hope it helps.
