依赖项中实体的java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Question

我在tomcat 7上运行一个Web应用程序。我正在使用spring 3 mvc和jpa（hibernate作为供应商）。
这是我的ApplicationContext.xml文件：

    <context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.company.dao" />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.company.services" />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.company.mvc" />

<bean id="dataSource"
    class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DBName" />
    <property name="username" value="username" />
    <property name="password" value="password" />
</bean>

<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.company.entities" />
    <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
        <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
            <property name="database" value="MYSQL" />
            <property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
</bean>

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />

这是我的pom.xml：

当我在tomcat 7上发布并运行我的应用程序时，我得到了这个例外：

修改
我发现我得到异常的原因是因为我使用@Repository和@Service注释注释了我的dao和service impl类。如果我删除注释，tomcat启动没有异常但是当我添加它们时 - 我在tomcat启动时得到异常。
知道为什么以及如何解决这个问题？
