Spring JPA: XML Configuration - No qualifying bean of Repository / no declaration can be found for element 'jpa:repositories'

I'm trying to move my application from JDBC to Spring JPA.

I have extended CrudRepository [of org.springframework.data.repository] and created my own DAO Interface

public interface IMyRepository extends CrudRepository<MyEntity, Long> {
// Queries
}

But, IMyRepositoty bean is not getting created with below XML configuration.

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

<bean id="persistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor"
class="org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor" />
<!-- <jpa:repositories base-package="com.project.dao"/> -->
</beans>

The error is:

No qualifying bean of type [com.project.dao.IMyRepository] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}

After searching many articles, found that need to add <jpa:repositories base-package="com.project.dao"/> into XML. But that is resulting in another error as below

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 68; columnNumber: 69; cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'jpa:repositories'.

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

More Info, In dependencies of module I have:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
<version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.1.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

And parent module have dependency on : spring-jdbc, spring-test, spring-core, spring-context-support, spring-orm all of version 4.1.6.RELEASE

From Spring Docs on JPA repository :

You need to add this namespace JPA Repository Support :

xmlns:jpa="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa"

As well as JPA schema location :

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa
http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd"

This is missing from your xml file. That's why you are getting that schema error.

Try this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jpa="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">
<jpa:repositories base-package="com.project.dao" />
</beans>

It should work.

On your Application class you have to use the:

> @EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "your repositories directory")

and annotate the IMyRepositoty as a

> @Repository
