Your attempt to use persistence.xml as a Spring config makes absolutely no sense, because persistence.xml is not a Spring config.

If you want to use JPA with Spring, you need to put persistence.xml into META-INF folder inside your source folder, and declare LocalContainerEntityManagerFactory in applicationContext.xml:

Then you can inject EntityManager into your Spring bean using @PersistenceContext:

@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
