Mockito:: Null pointer exception for MockMVC - mockito

Question

I am having project in spring-mvc. I wrote a test case in mockito, Below is the code:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration({"classpath:applicationContext.xml"})
#Configurable
public class ABCControllerTest {
#InjectMocks
CustomerController instance;
#Mock
Service paymentService;
#Mock
OfferService offerService;
#Mock
CategoryRepository categoryRepository;
#Mock
Category category;
#Mock
RuleService ruleService ;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
public PaymentCustomerControllerTest() {
}
#Before
public void setup() {
// this must be called for the #Mock annotations above to be processed
// and for the mock service to be injected into the controller under
// test.
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(instance).build();
}
#Test
public void testGetNewCashback() throws Exception {
int a= 100;
int b=200;
// System.out.print(mockMvc);
try{
mockMvc.perform(
get("repo/getTotalSum?Id=306187C35A5C98A1B01E3DCDE8BAC1DA&visitId=306187C35A5C98A1B01E3DCDE8BAC1DA&mobileStatus=0"))
.andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk());
}catch(Exception ex){
System.out.print(ex.getMessage());
}
a = 100;
}
#Test
public void testGetNewCashback() throws Exception {
ResultDTO result = instance.getTotalSum(Id, visitId, mobileStatus);
assertEquals(result, expResult);
// TODO review the generated test code and remove the default call to fail.
fail("The test case is a prototype.");
}
}
and this is my pom file:

at the value of mock is getting null, so getting null pointer exception. I googled out, changed spring version to 4.0.0Release, still same.
Any idea? Thanks.
After changing to standalone:i am getting java.lang.Exception: mvc is having null value.this is my code
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration({"classpath:applicationContext.xml"})
#WebAppConfiguration
public class PaymentCustomerControllerTest {
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Before
public void setUp() {
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
CustomerController instance = new CustomerController();
mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(instance).build();
}
#Test
public void testGetNewCashback() throws Exception {
if(mockMvc==null){
throw new Exception("mvc is having null value");
}
mockMvc.perform(
get("info/getInfo?Id=306&visitId=30618&mobileStatus=0"))
.andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk());
}

If you want to use Mockito for your tests, you must use MockitoJUnitRunner not SpringJUnit4ClassRunner
