NullPointerException at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.factorybeanregistrysupport.dogetobjectfromfactorybean(factorybeanregistrysupport.java:142)

This error is because of wrong version of the Spring data jar:

Replace : 1.3.2.RELEASE

with

1.3.4.RELEASE

Here is the maven dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
<version>1.3.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

This is how you resolve the error while instantiating the DAO or JPARepository while using spring data for jpa.
