it seems using spring 4, not using spring boot, new spring, take advice , instead of using "pure" spring, use spring boot, awesome project ease lot working spring. spring boot lot of configuration free, easy dependency management many spring libraries , thirdy party components, won't need use xml configuration, , lot more. recommended way start spring project.

that first part of answer. second part, getting exception prolly because of type @reimeus mention. repository annotation not in com.packt.webstore marked base package component scan, spring container cannot find repository annotation.
