Spring Newbie - Spring / Hibernate Session Factory Issue

[luhps]

I've been googling for two days now. Maybe I just need some new eyes on this.
I am new to spring, and I've really searched the forums, but I just can't seem to find the issue. Everything seems to tell me I'm doing it correctly. Possibly I should use Hibernate 3 instead of 4?

Functions in below in PotteryDAOImpl getAllPottery() and getAllPotteryType(String) keep giving me a NullPointerException when called

If you need to see any other files, please let me know.

PotteryDAOImpl.java (if you need to see BOImpl just let me know)

package net.nowakpottery.persistence;

import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import net.nowakpottery.persistence.PotteryDAO;


@Repository
public class PotteryDAOImpl implements PotteryDAO {
	@Autowired
	private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
    }

	public  List getAllPottery() {
		return this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from Pottery").list();
	}

	public  List getAllPotteryType(String pottery_type) {
		return this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from Pottery where section='"+pottery_type+"'").list();	
	}
	
}

My guess, you are doing a new Dao in your Bo. TO be sure post your bo implementation and post the stacktrace (using [ code][/code ] tags!)
