How can I Initialize getJdbcTemplate()?

[Deliverance]

Have you annotated your JUnit test class one way or another to tell it to load the application context that it needs to wire the beans that you plan to use for testing. I have a feeling that your job bean is probably null at this point.

@RunWith (SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration (locations={"/application-context.xml"})

assuming that you have an 'application-context.xml' in the same project, otherwise you have to use

classpath*:out-of-scope-context.xml

note that these names application-context.xml and out-of-scope-context.xml need to match your contexts
