Ensure the applicationContext.xml has the bean dataSource defined.

The DAO should pass a constructor-arg and not a property since dataSource is a constructor-arg.

Annotate a constructor method and ensure it accepts a dataSource.

The dataSource passes is the same one defined in the applicationContext.xml:

 <bean id="countryDao" class="com.crimetrack.jdbc.JdbcCountryDAO">
     <constructor-arg index="0" ref="dataSource"/>
 </bean>

@Repository
public class JdbcCountryDAO extends JdbcDaoSupport implements CountryDAO {
    private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass());

    @Autowired
    JdbcCountryDAO(DataSource dataSource) {
        setDataSource(dataSource);
    }

    public List<Country> getCountryList() { 
    // ...
