An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use <myClass> - spring

Question

Below is the EmployeeDaoImpl file which is injecting sessionFactory.
#Repository
public class EmployeeDaoImpl implements EmployeeDao {
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
#Override
public void addEmployee(TestEmployee employee) {
this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(employee);
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#Override
public List<TestEmployee> getAllEmployees() {
return this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from TestEmployee").list();
}
#Override
public void deleteEmployee(Integer employeeId) {
TestEmployee employee = (TestEmployee) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().load(
TestEmployee.class, employeeId);
if (null != employee) {
this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().delete(employee);
}
}
}
Below is my employee-servlet file

daoin
<context:component-scan base-package="com.rights.controller" />
you seems like you forgot the package of your repository you should add it using :
<context:component-scan base-package="com.rights.controller com.rights.dao" />
in the configuration you posted, the class with annotation #Repository may not be post-processed by spring, if it package is not include in the component scan
I hope it may help you
