Spring unable to autowire JdbcTemplate - spring

Question

I'm sure I'm making a simple mistake and I have searched for the answer. Basically, my war file builds fine but when I deploy it under Tomcat 7 I get a failure because injection of JdbcTemplate fails. I'll paste the full exception below.
I tried putting the driver jar here:
../webapps/adddrop-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib
The code is simple enough:
#Autowired
private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
In the POM is:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
<version>12.1.0.2</version>
</dependency>
In application.properties is:
# JWA Properties for JDBC/Oracle
spring.datasource.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#stusys-qa-db-2.xxx.com:1523:abcqa2
spring.datasource.username=jxxxxx
spring.datasource.password=xxxxxxxx
Here is the exception when I try to deploy the WAR:

Configure a datasource if you have not done yet, for example:
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
ds.setDriverClassName("org.h2.Driver");
ds.setUrl("jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/spitter");
ds.setUsername("sa");
ds.setPassword("");
return ds;
}
and configure the jdbctemplate as follows:
#Bean
public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate(DataSource dataSource) {
return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}
