Java-Spring, strange NullPointerException

Question

I'll explain the situation. I have an application web, java + spring + hibernate. Actually, i want to integrate DWR with Spring, so I did all the configuration and I think what I did works fine since I get this windows:

Now, we can focus on the findUsername(String username) methodo inside the dwr code:

@Autowired 
UserBo userBo;

public boolean findUsername(String username) {

    System.out.println("I'm in the DWR");

    try {

        User user = userBo.findByUsername(username);

        if(user != null) {
            return true;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e.toString());
        return false;
    }
}

And this is the code of userBo.findByUsername(String username) methodo:

public User findByUsername(String username) {
    System.out.println("I'm in the BO");
    return userDao.findByUsername(username);
}

And the DAO Code:

@Transactional
public User findByUsername(String username) {
    session = sessionFactory.openSession();

    System.out.println("I'm in the DAO");

    String hql = "FROM User Tab WHERE Tab.username= :username";

    Query query = session.createQuery(hql);

    query.setParameter("username", username);

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    List<User> userFound = (List<User>) query.list();
    if (userFound.size() > 0) {

        session.close();
        return userFound.get(0);
    }
    return null;
}

But when the code reach userBo.findByUsername(username); method call i get the NullPointerException.

I'm pretty sure the bo + day working good because I've used it in some other part of the application.

I don't understand the problem. Can someone help me?

Found the problem: I misses this line in the dwr-servlet.xml
