Here is the applicationContext-mytutorial.xml file:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

    xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"

    <bean id="courseService" class="com.mytutorial.CourseServiceImpl" scope="prototype">
        <property name="courseDAO" ref="courseDao" />

    <bean id="courseDao" class="com.mytutorial.CourseDaoImpl" scope="prototype" /> 
</beans>

I would be very appreciated if someone can help me with this.

Your XML is not well-formed, you forgot to close the first bean definition:

<bean id="courseService" class="com.mytutorial.CourseServiceImpl" scope="prototype">
    <property name="courseDAO" ref="courseDao" />
</bean>
