Spring & Struts2 REST - junit tests

Question

I have three hierarchical layers injected in Spring - rest, business logic and database operations. Junit tests for BL and DAO are working OK, when rest can inject only business logic ioc layer.

My supper class for junit tests:

import org.springframework.test.AbstractTransactionalSpringContextTests;

public class AbstractTest extends AbstractTransactionalSpringContextTests {
protected static final String path = "config/spring/applicationContext.xml";

/**
 * Disabled autowire by type 
 * Disabled dependency check
 */
public AbstractTest() {
 super();
 this.setAutowireMode(AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME);
 this.setDependencyCheck(false);
}

@Override
protected String[] getConfigLocations() {
 return new String[] {
   path
 };
}
}

So - rest calls business logic and this calls database operations. Nullpointer exception falls in business logic for database calls.

More info with example: REST: getUser(id) calls BL: getUserBO(id) calls DAO: getUserDAO(id)

Nullpointer is thrown on getUserDAO in getUserBO method. This only happens with junit tests it is working deployed.
