I am developing a small Java EE Hibernate Spring application and an error appeared:

And here is my controller ArticleControleur which contains a function for recovering the lists of articles:

package com.bd.controleur;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import com.bd.service.ArticleService;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/Article/GererArticle")
public class ArticleControleur {

    @Autowired
    ArticleService articleService;

    public ModelAndView listarticle() {

    Map<String, Object> model = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    model.put("articles", articleService.getAllArticles());

    // new ModelAndView("nom de la page jsp", model qui contient l'ensemble
    // des beans que tu vas passer a cette page)
    return new ModelAndView("GererArticle", model);

    }

}

And here is my articleService: 

package com.bd.service;

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import com.bd.dao.ArticleDao;
import com.bd.entity.Article;

@Service
public class ArticleServiceImp implements ArticleService {

    @Autowired
    private ArticleDao articledao;



    @Override
    public Article getArticleById(int articleId) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return articledao.getById(articleId);
    }

    @Override
    public void saveArticle(Article article) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        articledao.save(article);

    }

    @Override
    public void deleteArticle(Article article) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        articledao.delete(article);
    }

    @Override
    public List<Article> getAllArticles() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return articledao.getAll();
    }

}

And here is my application context: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--

The error shows that com.bd.service.ArticleService is not a registered bean. Add the packages in which you have beans that will be autowired in your application context: 

<context:component-scan base-package="com.bd.service"/>
<context:component-scan base-package="com.bd.controleur"/>

Alternatively, if you want to include all subpackages in com.bd: 

<context:component-scan base-package="com.bd">
     <context:include-filter type="aspectj" expression="com.bd.*" />
</context:component-scan>

As a side note, if you're using Spring 3.1 or later, you can take advantage of the @ComponentScan annotation, so that you don't have to use any xml configuration regarding component-scan. Use it in conjunction with @Configuration.

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/Article/GererArticle")
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.bd.service") // No need to include component-scan in xml
public class ArticleControleur {

    @Autowired
    ArticleService articleService;
    ...
}

You might find this Spring in depth section on Autowiring useful.
