I have two classes.

**CustomUserDetailsService** - Works fine!

```

@Service
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class CustomUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {

    @Autowired
    private UserDAO userDAO;

    @Override
    public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String login) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
        return userDAO.getUser(login);
    }

    public UserDAO getUserDAO() {
        return userDAO;
    }

    public void setUserDAO(UserDAO userDAO) {
        this.userDAO = userDAO;
    }
}

```

**RegistrationServiceImpl** - Throws NullPointerException on `userDAO.addUser(newUser);` method call.

```

@Service
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
public class RegistrationServiceImpl implements RegistrationService {

    @Autowired
    private UserDAO userDAO;

    @Override
    public void registerUser(Registration reg) {

        User newUser = new User();

        newUser.setUsername(reg.getUsername());
        newUser.setPassword(reg.getPassword());
        newUser.setFirstName(reg.getFirstName());
        newUser.setLastName(reg.getLastName());

        userDAO.addUser(newUser);
    }

    public UserDAO getUserDAO() {
        return userDAO;
    }

    public void setUserDAO(UserDAO userDAO) {
        this.userDAO = userDAO;
    }
}

```

Can anyone say me, why?
Thanks!

**RegistrationPage**

```

@Controller

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class RegistrationPage {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
