NullPointerException in Spring Controller

I have simple Spring MVC application. When I try to access

http://localhost:8080/paygate/transaction

I get an error:

FrontController.java:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class FrontController {

private LogService logService;
private T开发者_运维问答ransactionService transactionService;

@Autowired
public FrontController(LogService logService) {
    this.logService = logService;
}

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String viewLogsGet(Model model) {
    List<Log> logs = java.util.Collections.emptyList();
    logs = logService.query();
    model.addAttribute("logs",logs);
    return "viewLogs";
}

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String viewLogsPost(Model model) {
    return viewLogsGet(model);
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/transaction", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String runTransactionPost(/*Map<String, Object> map,*/
        @ModelAttribute("transaction") Transaction transaction,
        BindingResult result) {

    //map.put("transaction", new Transaction());
    if (transaction != null)
        transactionService.startTransaction(transaction);
    return "transaction";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/transaction", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String runTransactionGet(Map<String, Object> map,
        @ModelAttribute("transaction") Transaction transaction,
        BindingResult result) {
    return runTransactionPost(/*map,*/transaction, result);
}

}

You're not injecting anything into the transactionService field of FrontController. It will therefore be null when you call transactionService.startTransaction(transaction); in the runTransactionPost method.

You need to inject something there, perhaps using the existing constructor that injects LogService, e.g.

@Autowired
public FrontController(LogService logService, TransactionService transactionService) {
    this.logService = logService;
    this.transactionService = transactionService;
}
