I try to run a JUnit test case for ProductDAO class, that is part of the spring web application. But it still fails. I am not sure by my test-context.xml file.
I have ProductDAOImplTest class in path src/test/java and mentioned ProductController class in the stacktrace is saved in a path src/main/java.
ProductDAOImplTest
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("file:src/test/resources/test-context.xml")
@Transactional
public class ProductDAOImplTest {
@Autowired
private ProductDAO productDAO;
@Test
public void testAdd() {
fail("Not yet implemented");
}
@Test
public void testEdit() {
fail("Not yet implemented");
}
@Test
public void testGetAll() {
fail("Not yet implemented");
}
@Test
public void testGet() {
fail("Not yet implemented");
}
@Test
public void testRemove() {
fail("Not yet implemented");
}
@Test
public void testGetByPage() {
fail("Not yet implemented");
}
}

What you are doing currently is fine, although I would say it is more of an integration test than a unit test.
My main suggestion would be to only bring up parts of the system that you absolutely need for the component under test, e.g. the ProductDAO.
You already seem to be doing this to a certain extent but what may also help is reducing the scope of your component-scan to where you keep your DAOs, e.g.:
<context:component-scan base-package="com.myapp.dao" />
This would avoid picking up higher-level components such as Controllers and Service.
You could then rename the context to test-dao-context.xml and use it in all your other DAO tests.
When you come to integration testing your Services you could then have a test-service-context.xml context which imports test-dao-context.xml allowing you to test from the service to the database without too much repetition of bean definitions.
