JdbcTemplate NullPointerException

Question

I am trying to save data to database with Spring's JdbcTemplate, but I get this error message. If I do it normal way with PreparedStatements it's working.

My CarDAO class:

@Repository
@Service
public class CarDAO implements CarDAOService {

private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

public JdbcTemplate getJdbcTemplate() {
    return jdbcTemplate;
}

public void setJdbcTemplate(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
    this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
}



public void saveCarToDB(CarBean carbean) {

    final String sql = "insert into car (make, model) values (?,?)";

    Object[] parameters = new Object[] {carbean.getMake()+
            carbean.getModel()};

    //if I do here system.out.print(Arrays.toString(parameters)); 
    //it will print right make/model.

    jdbcTemplate.update(sql, parameters);

   //console says it is that row above, but I don't get how. Both parameters has values?
   //WARNING: StandardWrapperValve[spring-dispatcher]: Servlet.service() for servlet 
   //springdispatcher threw exception

}

I didn't include my Controller or CarDAOService class, because I think the problem isn't there. They are forwarding right parameters to CarDAO class.

Answer 1

You need to put the @Autowired annotation on your setter:

@Autowired
public void setJdbcTemplate(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
    this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
}

Answer 2

Autowired bean via @Autowired, and it can be applied on setter method, constructor or a field.

Try this

@Autowired
public void setJdbcTemplate(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
    this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
}
