Spring Data JPA + Eclipselink + Autowiring - eclipselink

Question

I have this little project that works with Hibernate + Spring JPA and I'm just trying to change Hibernate to EclipseLink. When I do that, my jUnit test case simply can't autowire the very same repository that works with Hibernate. I can't figure out what is wrong...
application-context.xml
<bean id="datasource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/test" />
<property name="username" value="root" />
</bean>
<bean id="jpaDialect" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.EclipseLinkJpaDialect" />
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="datasource" />
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="persistenceEclipseLink" />
<property name="jpaDialect" ref="jpaDialect" />
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.EclipseLinkJpaVendorAdapter" />
</property>
<property name="loadTimeWeaver">
<bean class="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.SimpleLoadTimeWeaver" />
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
<jpa:repositories base-package="com.example.test.repositories"></jpa:repositories>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor" />
persistence.xml
<persistence-unit name="persistenceHibernate"
transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
<persistence-unit name="persistenceEclipseLink"
transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
<class>com.example.test.entities.Post</class>
</persistence-unit>
This will result in:
ERROR org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager - Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener[org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener#2c5af885] to prepare test instance [com.example.test.PostRepositoryTest#871fa83] org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.example.test.PostRepositoryTest': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: com.example.test.repositories.PostRepository com.example.test.PostRepositoryTest.repository; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'postRepository': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The type [null] is not the expected [ManagedType] for the key class [class com.example.test.entities.Post].
If I simply change my entityManagerFactory to the bellow, everything works (using Hibernate):
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="datasource" />
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="persistenceHibernate" />
</bean>
Can anyone catch what am I doing wrong on the EclipseLink configuration?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Here's my jUnit test case:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations="classpath:META-INF/application-context.xml")
public class PostRepositoryTest {
#Autowired
PostRepository repository;
#Test
public void test() {
Post post = new Post();
post.setPostTitle("title");
repository.save(post);
}
}
EDIT

Can you please include the full exception stack trace, (also the mappings for the Post class)
To use the same properties as you have in Hibernate,
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
in EclipseLink this would be,
<property name="eclipselink.target-database" value="MySQL" />
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables" />
<property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="fine" />
