NullPointerException while getting data from DB, using annotation to call Action in Struts 2

EDIT

This is my Action Class

public class StatusAction extends ActionSupport implements ModelDriven<Status>{

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 5686197289029560661L;

    private Status status = new Status();
    private List<Status> lstStatus = new ArrayList<Status>();
    private StatusService sttService = new StatusServiceImpl();

    @Override
    public Status getModel() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return status;
    }

    @Action(value="/lstStatus", results={
            @Result(name="success", location="/list.jsp")
    })
    public String list(){
        lstStatus = sttService.listStatus();
        return SUCCESS;
    }

    @Action(value="/hello", results={
            @Result(name="success", location="/NewFile.jsp")
    })
    public String hello1(){
        return SUCCESS;
    }


    //get, set
    public Status getStatus() {
        return status;
    }

    public void setStatus(Status status) {
        this.status = status;
    }

    public List<Status> getLstStatus() {
        return lstStatus;
    }

    public void setLstStatus(List<Status> lstStatus) {
        this.lstStatus = lstStatus;
    }
}

When I use Action annotation instead of xml, it throws NullPointerException. But when I use xml, it run without exception.

My struts.xml:

   <action name="lstStatus" method="list" class="com.sem4.actions.StatusAction">
        <result name="success">/list.jsp</result>
    </action>

Here is exception:

This is StatusDAOImpl (implement StatusDAO interface)

   @SessionTarget
Session ss;
@TransactionTarget
Transaction tran;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public List<Status> getListStatus() {
    List<Status> lst = new ArrayList<Status>();
    try{
        lst = ss.createQuery("from Status")
                .list();
    }catch(Exception ex){
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return lst;
}

And this StatusServiceImpl (impl StatusService interface)

   private StatusDAO sttDAO = new StatusDAOImpl();

@Override
public List<Status> listStatus() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return sttDAO.getListStatus();
}

Note: I use annotations when I call a method with no data from DB, it's ok.

What I can do to fix that?

As per the exception stacktrace it is clear that the Session ss is null. So Struts is not injecting the dependencies for you as you are trying to add the package hibernate-default for the action class. Because this package has the interceptor called basicStackHibernate which will help to inject the required dependencies.

To fix the issue, add below annotations to your action class:

@ParentPackage("hibernate-default")
@InterceptorRef("basicStackHibernate")
public class StatusAction extends ActionSupport implements ModelDriven<Status>{}

Refer to this similar post for more details:
