You need to retrieve the ContactDAO instance from Spring context. You are initing yourself with new keyword.

See the below link;

@Autowired annotation not able to inject bean in JUnit class

ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource("beans.xml");
BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(resource);
