JPA persistent class extending another class from different JAR

Question

Hoping someone can helpme with this issue as all the answers I have found do not seem to be working for me.

Under my myProj webapp I have the following

./WEB=INF/lib/myproj-user.jar containing this class

@Entity
@Table(name = "user_details")
@Data
@EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper=false)
public class UserDetails extends CommonObject {
    ...
}

.

./WEB=INF/lib/myproj-common.jar containing this class

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class CommonObject implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -980608025624315940L;

    @Getter @Setter
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Integer id;
    ...
}

And my application-context.xml has this (application-context.xml has sub XMLs called hibernate-context and model-context.xml, but these have always been fine)

<bean id="commonAuto" class="com.myproj.common.model.CommonObject"/>
<bean id="userDetails" class="com.myproj.user.model.UserDetails"/>

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="annotatedClasses">
        <list>
            <value>com.myproj.common.model.CommonObject</value>             
            <value>com.myproj.user.model.UserDetails</value>    

But on startup I get the following error in my logs

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userService': Injection of autowired dependencies failed;
