Spring 3: Datasource injection And NullPointerException

I keep geting NPE with Spring injecting Datasource in following code.

I got two classes. Superclasss

public class RepositorySource extends PropertiesConfiguration{

    private RepositoryView repositoryView;

    public RepositoryView getRepositoryView() {
        return repositoryView;
    }
    public void setRepositoryView(RepositoryView repositoryView) {
        this.repositoryView = repositoryView;
    }               
}

And subclass

public class RepositoryView {

    private DataSource dataSource;

    public DataSource getDataSource() {
        return dataSource;
    }

    public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource) {
        this.dataSource = dataSource;
    }

    public void testConn_RV(
        Connection con;
        try {
            con = dataSource.getConnection();       
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Here is the bean definition to inject the DataSource from it:

<bean id="RepositorySourceBean" class="com.acme.persistence.metamodel.views.impl.RepositorySource" >
<property name="repositoryView">
                <bean class="com.acme.persistence.metamodel.views.impl.RepositoryView">         
                        <property name="dataSource" ref="mysqlDataSource">  </property>
                </bean>     
    </property>
</bean>

And the Datasource bean:

<!-- DATABASE PROPERTIES LOCALIZATION -->
        <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">

            <property name="location">
                <value>properties/mysql-persistence.properties</value>
            </property>             
        </bean>

    <!-- DATASOURCE DEFINITION -->    
        <bean id="mysqlDataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

            <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}" />
            <property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}" />
            <property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}" />
            <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}" />
        </bean>

I keep getting the NPE in last line of main method:

public static void main( String[] args )
    {           
        App app = new App();            
        ApplicationContext appContext = 
                new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring/configBeans/BeanLocations.xml");

    RepositorySource src = new RepositorySource();  
    src.getRepositoryView().testConn_RV();} //<----- NPE HERE

It seems DataSource is not beeing initialized but why?

How to solve this?

EDIT This part:

 RepositorySource src = new RepositorySource(); 
        src.getRepositoryView().testConn_RV();}

needs to go in method of main class called say initResourceSource() so i would have to pass appContext to the method so therefore getBean() is no the solution

Answer in continuation to comment... Use this:

private RepositorySource src;

public void setSrc(RepositorySource src){
    this.src = src;
}


public static void main( String[] args )
{           
    App app = new App();            
    ApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring/configBeans/BeanLocations.xml");

    //RepositorySource src = new RepositorySource();  
    src.getRepositoryView().testConn_RV();
}

and inject this using XML

It should be like this...

 ApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring/configBeans/BeanLocations.xml");
 RepositorySource src = appContext.getBean("repositorySourceBean",RepositorySource.class);
