Java NullPointerException on MongoDb Collection findAll()

Question

I am getting a NullPointerException on AlertService#findAll() method:

java.lang.NullPointerException
com.t2.claims.services.AlertService.findAll(AlertService.java:24)
com.t2.claims.controllers.AlertIndexController.doAfterCompose(AlertIndexController.java:28)

This is the findAll() method:

public List<Alert> findAll() {
    Query query = new Query(where("id").exists(true));
    return mongoTemplate.find(query, Alert.class);
}

The whole AlertService is as such:

package com.t2.claims.services;

import java.util.List;

import javax.annotation.Resource;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Query;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Update;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
import com.t2.claims.models.Alert;
import static org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Criteria.where;

@Service("alertService")
@Transactional
public class AlertService {

    @Resource(name="mongoTemplate")
    private MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;

    public List<Alert> findAll() {
        Query query = new Query(where("id").exists(true));
        return mongoTemplate.find(query, Alert.class);
    }

    public void add(Alert alert) {
        try {
            mongoTemplate.insert(alert);
        } catch(Exception e) {}
    }
    public void update(Alert alert) {
        Query query = new Query(where("id").is(alert.getId()));
        try {
            Update update = new Update();
            update.set("assignedUser", alert.getAssignedUser());
            update.set("status", alert.getStatus());
            update.set("category", alert.getCategory());
            update.set("vehicleStatus", alert.getVehicleStatus());
            update.set("brand", alert.getBrand());
            mongoTemplate.updateMulti(query, update, Alert.class);
        } catch(Exception e) {}
    }
    public void delete(Alert alert) {
        try {
            Query query = new Query(where("id").is(alert.getId()));
            // Run the query and delete the entry
            mongoTemplate.remove(query, Alert.class);
        } catch(Exception e) {}
    }
}

It may be easier to check out my IntegrateMongo branch on Github to have at look in more detail. https://github.com/georgeotoole/T2ClaimsPortal/tree/IntegrateMongo

I can't understand if there is an issue with my code or perhaps mongo on my machine .. ?

Thanks

I'm pretty certain it's a case of... :

@Resource(name="mongoTemplate")
private MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;

...not being injected.

What about adding a null check in the methods that use mongoTemplate to make sure that it has been injected?

public List<Alert> findAll() {
    Query query = new Query(where("id").exists(true));
    if (mongoTemplate == null) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("mongoTemplate is null");
    }
    return mongoTemplate.find(query, Alert.class);
}
