Spring MVC MongoDB integration

Question

I would like to create Spring MVC sample with mongoDB by this tutorial http://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-mongodb/ . I try @Autowired for CustomerRepository repository into my @Controller class, but I receive org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException for repository class member with exception message "....No matching bean of type [com.mvc.venko.CustomerRepository] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency..."

My @Controller class and CustomerRepository are in same package.

I can't get the problem causing this exception.

PS: using springFramework 3.1.1.RELEASE, spring-data-mongodb 1.4.2.RELEASE

EDIT: Complete conf.xml structure for resolving problem. Please switch to Spring 3.2.5

    <mongo:db-factory dbname="yourdb" write-concern="NONE" />
    <bean id="mongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">

    </bean>

I think you don't configure a bean of CustomerRepository type. You can do this with this line in your spring-config.xml:

<mongo:repositories base-package="/path to your repository package/" />
