Hello,

I'm trying to get GridFS to work with spring-data and MongoDB. I can use queries over mongoTemplate. This is working. But getting GridFS to work seems to be a bit more bitchy. I try to store a file over a Unit Test but get a NullPointerException when the test is executed as shown below.

I'm thankful for any hints in to the right direction. Especially also links to documentation or code samples that may help.

I'm using following versions:
* Spring 3.1.2.RELEASE
* Mongo Java Driver 2.9.1
* Spring Data MongoDB 1.1.1.RELEASE

I get following error when I execute my test:
Code:

My Unit test looks as followed:
-> res is set with the image, i debugged that.
Code:
public class GridFsTest {
   
    @Autowired
    GridFsTemplate template;
    
    @Test
    public void storeFileTest() throws IOException {
        Resource res = new ClassPathResource("mvc.jpg");

        template.store(res.getInputStream(), "mvc.jpg");
        
        assertEquals("Store File Test: ", "idontcare", "idontcare");
    }
}
Thanks for your input.

Kind regards,
Chris
