after some days of trying and waitin' for answers on the springsource forums I'll try it here. Running my application results in these exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [com.example.my.services.user.UserService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

Here's the relevant code

application context:

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
  <property name="driverClassName" value="org.postgresql.Driver" />
  <property name="url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test" />
  <property name="username" value="test" />
  <property name="password" value="test" />
</bean>

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
  <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
  <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.example.my.entities.*" />
  <property name="configurationClass" value="org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration" />
  <property name="hibernateProperties">
    <props>
      <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</prop>
      <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
    </props>
  </property>
</bean>

<tx:annotation-driven />
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
  <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

com.example.my.entities.user:

@Entity
@Table( name = "tbl_users" )
public class User
{
  @Id
  @Column( name = "id" )
  @GeneratedValue
  private int id;

  @Column( name = "username" )
  private String username;

  @Column( name = "password" )
  private String password;

  public void setId( int id )
  {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public int getId()
  {
    return id;
  }

  public void setUsername( String username )
  {
    this.username = username;
  }

  public String getUsername()
  {
    return username;
  }

  public void setPassword( String password )
  {
    this.password = password;
  }

  public String getPassword()
  {
    return password;
  }
}

service:

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService
{
  @Autowired
  private UserDAO userDAO;

  @Override
  @Transactional
  public void addUser( User user )
  {
    userDAO.addUser( user );
  }

  @Override
  @Transactional
  public List<User> listUsers()
  {
    return userDAO.listUsers();
  }

  @Override
  @Transactional
  public void removeUser( int id )
  {
    userDAO.removeUser( id );
  }
}

Multiple things can cause this, I didn't bother to check your entire repository, so I'm going out on a limb here.

First off, you could be missing an annotation (@Service or @Component) from the implementation of com.example.my.services.user.UserService, if you're using annotations for configuration. If you're using (only) xml, you're probably missing the <bean> -definition for the UserService-implementation.

If you're using annotations and the implementation is annotated correctly, check that the package where the implementation is located in is scanned (check your <context:component-scan base-package= -value).
