Unit Testing with Spring-MVC-Test - @Autowire attributes are null

[DJC_Spring]

Hi guys,

Im confused when trying to write a unit test for my rest controller as I cannot seem to mock my @Autowire properties in the controller.

Here is my Test

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration()
public class RegistrationControllerTesting {
	
	private MockMvc mockMvc;
	private LicenseSecurityContextHelper licenseSecurityContextHelper;
	        
	private ILicenseAuthentication licenseAuthentication;
	
	@Before
	public void setup() {		
		licenseAuthentication = mock(LicenseAuthentication.class);
		mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(new RegistrationController()).build();
		licenseSecurityContextHelper = mock(LicenseSecurityContextHelper.class);
		when(licenseSecurityContextHelper.getLicenseAuthentication()).thenReturn(licenseAuthentication);
	}
	
	@Test
	public void test() throws Exception {		
		DefaultRequestBuilder requestBuilder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.post("/rest/auth/register")
			.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
			.body(JsonHelperProvider.registrationJson.getBytes());
		mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder);

	}

My config in RegistrationControllerTesting-context.xml

<bean id="licenseSecurityContextHelper" class="org.mockito.Mockito" factory-method="mock"> 
 		<constructor-arg value="uk.co.company.common.license.spring.LicenseSecurityContextHelper" />
 	</bean> 
		
	<bean id="rollupScheduleService" class="org.mockito.Mockito" factory-method="mock">
		<constructor-arg value="uk.co.company.product.service.IRollupScheduleService" />
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="productApplicationContextService" class="org.mockito.Mockito" factory-method="mock">
		<constructor-arg value="uk.co.company.product.service.IproductApplicationContextService" />
	</bean>

My controller has autowire fields

@Autowired
private IproductApplicationContextService productApplicationContextService;
	
@Autowired
private IRollupScheduleService rollupScheduleService;
	
@Autowired
private LicenseSecurityContextHelper licenseSecurityContextHelper;

However in my controller the object licenseSecurityContextHelper is null i.e

ILicenseAuthentication licenseAuthentication = licenseSecurityContextHelper.getLicenseAuthentication();

Im confused because the beans seem to be autowired in the log file. I proved this by removing the mocked bean definitions from my xml config and this produces the error

"Could not autowire field: private uk.co.company.product.service.IproductApplicationContextService"

Can someone please tell me what ive done wrong?
