java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No SqlMapClient specified - struts2

Question

I'm trying to JUnit a DAO which accesses iBatis. The problem is iBatis cannot read SqlMapClient although I specified it in applicationContext.xml. So I tried to set full path for it but I still get errors.
applicationContext.xml
<!-- Sql Map Client -->
<bean id="sqlMapClient" class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean">
<property name="configLocation" value="file:C:/workspace/MyProject/WebContent/WEB-INF/sqlMapConfig.xml" />
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>
JUnit Code
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(
locations={
"file:C:/workspace/MyProject/WebContent/WEB-INF/sqlMapConfig.xml",
"file:C:/workspace/MyProject/WebContent/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml",
"file:C:/workspace/MyProject/WebContent/WEB-INF/dataSource.xml",
}
)
// This doesn't work
//locations={
//"classpath:/WEB-INF/sqlMapConfig.xml",
//"classpath:/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml",
//"classpath:/WEB-INF/dataSource.xml",
//}
public class ProductDaoTest {
/**
* Run the List<Product> getProductList(Product) method test.
*
* #throws Exception
*
* #generatedBy CodePro at 7/1/13 10:55 AM
*/
#Test
public void testGetProductList()
throws Exception {
ProductDao fixture = new ProductDao();
Product product = new Product();
List<Product> result = fixture.getProductList(product);
assertNotNull(result);
}
}
I get this error

Answer 1

I guess the error maybe in
ProductDao fixture = new ProductDao();
try to change it to
WebApplicationContext wac = WebApplicationContextUtils.
getRequiredWebApplicationContext( config.getServletContext());
ProductDao fixture = (ProductDao) wac.getBean("ProductDao" );
