How to use annotation and avoid xml configuration in spring framework - spring

Question

I have designed a packing structure.
Controller
Delegates (which is helper class) - this class do all the business and return the value to Controllers.
Service
Service Implementation
DAO
DAO Implementation.
I want to implement autowired (Annotation) concept and would like to avoid xml configuration such as service and DAO configuration on spring-bean.xml.
This code is not working if I want to avoid xml configuration.
I have done those changes
bean id :loginDelegate, userService, userDao
added the #Service & #Repository annotation to the corresponding service & DAO implementation.
#Controller("loginController")
public class LoginController {
#Autowired
private LoginDelegate loginDelegate;
public LoginDelegate getLoginDelegate() {
return this.loginDelegate;
}
public void setLoginDelegate(LoginDelegate tLoginDelegate) {
this.loginDelegate = tLoginDelegate;
}
#RequestMapping(value="/login.do",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView displayLogin(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
log.info("<---displayLogin()--->");
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("login");
LoginBean loginBean = new LoginBean();
model.addObject("loginBean", loginBean);
return model;
}
}
public class LoginDelegate {
#Autowired
private IUserService userService;
public IUserService getUserService() {
return this.userService;
}
public void setUserService(IUserService userService) {
this.userService = userService;
}
public boolean isValidUser(String username, String password) throws Exception {
return userService.isValidUser(username, password);
}
}
public interface IUserService {
public boolean isValidUser(UserBean userObj);
public int addUsers(UserBean userObj);
}
public class UserServiceImpl implements IUserService {
#Autowired
private IUserDao userDao;
public IUserDao getUserDao() {
return this.userDao;
}
public void setUserDao(IUserDao userDao) {
this.userDao = userDao;
}
public boolean isValidUser(UserBean userObj) {
return userDao.isExistUser(userObj);
}
#Override
public int addUser(final UserBean userObj) {
return userDao.saveUserDetails(userObj);
}
}
public interface IUserDao {
public boolean isExistUser(UserBean userObj);
public int saveUserDetails(UserBean userObj);
}
public class UserDaoImpl implements IUserDao {
#Autowired
UserBean userObj;
#Autowired
DataSource dataSource ;
public DataSource getDataSource(){
return this.dataSource;
}
public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource){
this.dataSource = dataSource;
}

Use Java-based configuration if you want to completely get rid of XML-based configuration
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.acme")
public class AppConfig {
...
}
The above normal Java class when annotated with #Configuration, makes it a 'Spring Configuration class' (analogous to XML-based configuration).
#ComponentScan annotation scans for classes annotated with #Component, #Controller, #Service, #Repository classes from the package defined during start-up time to get them registered as Spring beans. This can be done in XML also with <context:component-scan base-package="com.acme" />
