Hades Synyx library. DAO Test, Autowired gives NPE

Question

I've got problem with Hades Synyx library. I am trying to make some DAO test. My test looks exactly like this below, but when I try to run it with TestNG I've got NPE. Why spring doesn't inject PacientDAO ?

@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:applicationContext.xml")
public class PacientDAOTest {

@Autowired
private PacientDAO dao;

@Test
public void shouldAddPacient() {
    Pacient pacient = new Pacient();
    pacient.setName("x");
    pacient.setSecondName("xx");
    pacient.setLastName("xxx");
    pacient.setBirthDate(new Date(2000, 10, 10));
    pacient.setPesel(1111111111);
    pacient.setSex(Sex.FEMALE);
    pacient.setEmail("aaza@asd.pl");
    pacient.setContactNumber(123456L);
    dao.save(pacient);
    Assert.assertEquals(pacient, dao.readByPrimaryKey(pacient.getId()));
    }
}

and my pacientDAO:

public interface PacientDAO extends GenericDao<Pacient, Long> {

@Query("Select * from dietetyk_pacients where name = :name")
    public Pacient getByName(@Param("name") String name);
}

Answer 1

You should implement your

public interface PacientDAO

in some

public class PacientDAOImpl

Then to make this class a candidate for injection, you must add the bean definition to your applicationContext.xml descriptor OR annotate it with the @Repository annotation and activate the annotation based scan in your descriptor with <context:component-scan base-package="your.package"/>
