Junit testing issue with NullPoint. and BeanFactory!

Hey having problem finishing off unit test. My problem is with my code I want to set a timeout to say 10000. But cant use 'magic number' as they say so use this method inside code to call the value

public int getConnectionTimeout() {
    final Properties p = (Properties) SpringUtility.getBean("common.properties");
    return Integer.valueOf((String) p.get("connect.timeout"));
    //return 10000;
}

If I use the commented out return value(10000) tests work great. But the other gives me beanfactory error. So next in my unit test I decide to try and override the getConnectionTimeout() as follows:

cct = new ClientConnectionTester() {

        @Override
 开发者_Python百科       public int getConnectionTimeout() {
            return 10000;
        }
    };

Now its giving me null pointer, so clearly I'm missing something but cant put finger on it, thanks.

the NullPointer is coming from line 82 shown below

return Integer.valueOf((String) p.get("connect.timeout"));

stack trace

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.btisystems.pronx.ems.resources.utility.ClientConnectionTesterTest.verifyActiveConnection(ClientConnectionTesterTest.java:82)

But if use @Override call, I get NullPointer at

cct.getConnectionTimeout();

Was thinking should I mock the call, just dont understand why the @override is not working even tou I know its a bit of a hack :P
