If you're extending an Alfresco repository then ensure you've used proper extension paths. Otherwise, your customization will not be loaded into Alfresco.
Last week, we were trying to extend, Lucene searches to SOLR. When I used the following paths it was not working:
classpath*:alfresco/extension/subsystems/Search/noindex/*-context.xml
classpath*:alfresco/extension/subsystems/Search/solr/*-context.xml
classpath*:alfresco/extension/subsystems/Search/lucene/*-context.xml
I encountered NoSuchBean exception. Then I debugged the spring and Alfresco bootstrap code and found the following path for Alfresco extensions.
Later I found I needed one level down to extend the search subsystem.
classpath*:alfresco/extension/subsystems/Search/noindex/noindex/*-context.xml
classpath*:alfresco/extension/subsystems/Search/solr/solr/*-context.xml
