How do I get spring to inject my EntityManager?

Question

I'm following the guide here, but when the DAO executes, the EntityManager is null.

I've tried a number of fixes I found in the comments on the guide, on various forums, and here (including this), to no avail. No matter what I seem to do the EntityManager remains null.

Here are the relevant files, with packages etc changed to protect the innocent.

Use the org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.
