Java – Configuring Junit + spring + hibernate 4 + maven: Null pointer getting session

I hope someone can help me. I'm new on this and I'm really confusing right now. I google a lot but I'm still very confused.
After going through several errors… I'm stuck in a nullPointerException.

I have a service and its implementation:

@Controller("PollService")
@Transactional
@Service
public class PollServiceImpl  extends BaseServiceImpl implements PollService {

@Resource(name="PollRepository")
private PollRepository repository;

   // etc..
}

The repository implementation:

@Repository("PollRepository")
@Transactional
public class PollRepositoryImpl extends BaseEntityRepositoryImpl implements PollRepository{ 
 //some code...
}

Then my test class:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration (locations = {"file:src/test/resources/applicationContext.xml"})
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager="transactionManager", defaultRollback=false)
@Transactional
public class PollRepositoryTest extends AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests {

   public PollRepositoryTest(){
     super();
   }

@Resource
protected SessionFactory sessionFactory;

Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();

@Resource
private PollService pollService;

    @Rollback(true)
    @Test
    public void testSaveSomething() throws Exception  {/** ... **/ }

}

And when I run it I have this stacktrace, NullPointer in :
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();

StackTrace:

Well… I will be very gratefull if someone can help me to understand all this! And sorry if there are a lot of errors.

UPDATE

Thanks for your answers, I really appreciate it. Now I can see some light.

Well, I change the versions of spring dependencies. They are all in 4.0.0.RELEASE now.
Plus I remove @Controller("PollService") in PollServiceImpl like said Boris Treukhov.

And I did some fixes in my test class and now it is:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration (locations = {"file:src/test/resources/applicationContext.xml"})
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager="transactionManager", defaultRollback=false)
@Transactional
public class PollRepositoryTest {

@Resource
protected SessionFactory sessionFactory;

private Session session;

@Before
public void setUpSession() throws Exception {
  session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
}

@Autowired
private PollService pollService;

@Rollback(true)
@Test
public void testSaveQuizPreference() throws Exception  { /**...**/}

And now it throws this stacktrace:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.myApp.repository.test.PollRepositoryTest': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.myApp.services.PollService com.myApp.repository.test.PollRepositoryTest.pollService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [com.myApp.services.PollService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

This mean I need to create the bean in my applicationContext? Because I thing putting

in my appContext.xml is used to avoid create beans in the xml.
I hope you can help me with this issue. And really thanks for your answers.
