I am trying to validate a user record from my database using Spring Framework, RESTful Web Services and Jersey Implementation.

I am using MySQL v5.6.0, Eclipse Galileo, Apache tomcat v6.0

UserAccessWS.java

@Path("/user")
@Service
public class UserAccessWS {
@Autowired
private IUserService userService;
private static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(UserAccessWS.class);

@POST
@Path("/validateUser")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public String getValidateUser(@Context HttpServletRequest request,
        @FormParam("userName") String userName,
        @FormParam("password") String password) throws JSONException {
    LOGGER.info("getValidateUser method");
    Users users = new Users();
    users.setUserName(userName);
    users.setPassword(password);
    List<Users> userList = new ArrayList<Users>();
    userList = userService.validateUser(users);

    JSONObject userInfo = new JSONObject();
    userInfo.put("authorize", true);
    return userInfo.toString();
}

@POST
@Path("/login")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public String userLogin(
        @FormParam("userName") String userName,
        @FormParam("password") String password) 
                throws Exception 
{
    LOGGER.info("in UserAccessWS::userLogin()");

    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
    JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray();
    List<Users> userList = new ArrayList<Users>();
    userList = userService.userLogin(userName, password);

Null error is being pointed out in this line "userList = userService.userLogin(userName, password);"

    //System.out.println(userList);

    if (userList.size() == 0)
    {
        json.put("status", "fail");
    } 
    else 
    {
        json.put("status", "success");
        jsonArr.add(userList.get(0));
        json.put("data", jsonArr);
    }
     //System.out.println(jsonArr.get(0).userId);
    return json.toString();
}

The database from where it has to validate the details entered by user is NOT empty. It has the records in them. But via this query it always gives a NullPointerException.

Please help me out.

May be this is a late reply. I am suspecting the userService it self is null. It is not autowired properly. Because here you mentioned default-autowire="byName" in your applicationContext.xml. I couldn't find the bean named userService in your applicationContext.xml. I think you need to add the below line in you applicationContext.xml

 <bean id="userService" class="yourIUserServiceImplClass"></bean>
