I'm trying to use jdbcTemplate to execute sql commands. In this case, I'm trying to insert things into a table. I'm getting a null pointer exception in the line : jdbcTemplate.execute(subscriptionStatusInsertQuery);
When I try to run the line:
dbMapper.mapToDatabase(newEntry);
where dbMapper is an instance of DBMapper.
@Repository
public class DBMapper {
    private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
    public JdbcTemplate getJdbcTemplate() {
        return jdbcTemplate;
    }
    @Autowired
    public void setJdbcTemplate(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
        this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
    }
    public void mapToDatabase(Status status) {
        String id = status.getId();
        String subscriptionStatusInsertQuery = "INSERT INTO t1 (ID) VALUES (id)";
        jdbcTemplate.execute(subscriptionStatusInsertQuery);
    }
}
I've tried not having a setter for jdbcTemplate. I've tried taking out the @Repository annotation. I've tried having a setter that included datasource. Still getting error.
How should I fix this null pointer exception?
Edit:
My application.properties has the following setting:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ee_internal
spring.datasource.username=ee
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.password=mypassword
spring.datasource.test-on-borrow=true
spring.datasource.validation-query=SELECT 1
And from my pom.xml:
<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
        </dependency>
