Spring 3.2, jUnit 4.11, JPA NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: expected at least 1 bean - spring

Question

I am using annotation based spring configuration and trying to test my JPA based DAO. After configuration, when I ran the test, below error is thrown. I am out of any clue why the IPartnerDao is not found even though a Bean configuration is created in the Test class.
5173 [ERROR] org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager - Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener#3600e312] to prepare test instance [test.java.net.bornil.persistence.service.partner.PartnerDaoTest#148238f4]

Make sure you have component scanning setup on your JPAConfig.class.
#ComponentScan("package.containing.PartnerDao")
public class JPAConfig{
}
Also try adding the test to the classes being loaded by the ContextLoader
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(loader = AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class,
classes = { JPAConfig.class, PartnerDaoTest.class })
public final class PartnerDaoTest {
/** tests**/
}
