title: BeanCreationException NoSuchBeanDefinitionException using Spring roo
body: <p>I am getting an exception thrown when i attempt to access my service, i used spring roo to create my spring data jpa repository which generated the file <code>applicationContext-jpa.xml</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;beans:beans xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd"&gt;
  
    &lt;repositories base-package="org.bixin.dugsi" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/beans:beans&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My applicationContext.xml is in the same directory <code>META-INF/spring/</code> and i have made sure to include the component-scan </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;context:component-scan base-package="org.bixin.dugsi"&gt;
      &lt;context:exclude-filter expression=".*_Roo_.*" type="regex"/&gt;
      &lt;context:exclude-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller" type="annotation"/&gt;
  &lt;/context:component-scan&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The test use case in how i am using it, is below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RooIntegrationTest(entity = UserAccount.class)
  @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml" })
  public class UserAccountIntegrationTest extends AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests {
  
  
      @PersistenceUnit(unitName = "persistenceUnit")
      private EntityManagerFactory factory;
      PasswordService testsPasswordService = new CustomPasswordService();
  
      @Autowired
      private AccountSettingsRepository accountSettingsRepository;
  
      @Autowired
      private AccountService accountService;
  
      @Test
      public void testAccount(){
  
          accountService.saveAccountSettings(accountSettings);
          Assert.assertNotNull(accountSettings);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I cant figure out what could be causing this exception, i told it exactly where to find the service implementation and repository. Full stack trace is below:</p>
