RuntimeException could not be mapped to a response, re-throwing to the
HTTP container java.lang.NullPointerException

I am trying to validate a user record from my database using Spring
Framework, RESTful Web Services and Jersey Implementation.
I am using MySQL v5.6.0, Eclipse Galileo, Apache tomcat v6.0
UserAccessWS.java
@Path("/user")
@Service
public class UserAccessWS {
@Autowired
private IUserService userService;
private static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(UserAccessWS.class);
@POST
@Path("/validateUser")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public String getValidateUser(@Context HttpServletRequest request,
@FormParam("userName") String userName,
@FormParam("password") String password) throws JSONException {
LOGGER.info("getValidateUser method");
Users users = new Users();
users.setUserName(userName);
users.setPassword(password);
List<Users> userList = new ArrayList<Users>();
userList = userService.validateUser(users);
JSONObject userInfo = new JSONObject();
userInfo.put("authorize", true);
return userInfo.toString();
}
@POST
@Path("/login")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public String userLogin(
@FormParam("userName") String userName,
@FormParam("password") String password)
throws Exception
{
LOGGER.info("in UserAccessWS::userLogin()");
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray();
List<Users> userList = new ArrayList<Users>();
userList = userService.userLogin(userName, password);
Null error is being pointed out in this line "userList =
userService.userLogin(userName, password);"
//System.out.println(userList);
if (userList.size() == 0)
{
json.put("status", "fail");
}
else
{
json.put("status", "success");
jsonArr.add(userList.get(0));
json.put("data", jsonArr);
}
//System.out.println(jsonArr.get(0).userId);
return json.toString();
}

The database from where it has to validate the details entered by user is
NOT empty. It has the records in them. But via this query it always gives
a NullPointerException.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
