Spring application context bean creation issue with latest spring version - spring

Question

I have a project which uses an old spring.jar (1.2.6),from this project, I am expected to call a newer version (spring version 5.0.7) spring boot project's method. Below is the way I am creating my bean in old version project.
I am getting NullPointer exception while creating the Autowired bean.
Create bean from XML:spring
test-context.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "qvc-spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
<bean name="testPci" class="com.test.client.TestPci">
</bean>
</beans>
sampleParent-context.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans SYSTEM "spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
<import resource="classpath:/com/test/test-context.xml" />
<bean id="classA" class="com.test.A" >
<property name="testPci">
<ref bean="testPci"/>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
Java code old spring project:
package com.test;
public class A{
private TestPci testPci;
private ApplicationContext ctx;
public TestPci getTestService() {
if (!StringUtils.isValid(ctx)) {
ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("./com/test/test-context.xml");
}
if (!StringUtils.isValid(this.testPci)) {
if (StringUtils.isValid(ctx)) {
testPci = (TestPci) ctx.getBean("testPci");
TestPci testPci = (TestPci) ctx
.getBean("testPci");
this.setSecureTestService(testPci);
}
}
return this.getSecureTestService();
}
public TestPci getSecureTestService() {
return testPci;
}
public void setSecureTestService(TestPci testPci) {
this.testPci = testPci;
}
public void methodA(){
//Calling newer code form old spring code:
testPci.testing("1", "2", "3");
}
}
Calling "TestPci" class as above, but when trying to call using the above, it actually calls the "TestPci"."testing" method. But the object autowired as "testWebClientService" is returning as null. I would like to get the object created instead it returns null.
New spring version class:
#Service
#EnableConfigurationProperties(TestWebClientProperties.class)
#Configurable
public class TestPci{
#Autowired
private TestWebClientService testWebClientService;
public Map<String, String> testing(String a, String b, String c) throws Exception {
Map<String, String> map = testWebClientService.find(a, b, c);
System.out.println("**=="+map.get(0));
return map;
}
}
Adding junit which is used to call the TestPci class from newer version of spring:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#EnableConfigurationProperties(TestWebClientProperties.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = { TestWebClientService.class, TestPci.class }, webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.NONE)
public class TestJunit {
#MockBean(name="restTemplate")
public RestTemplate restTemplate;
#Autowired
private TestPci testPci;
#Test
public void ff() throws Exception {
testPci.testing("1","1","1");
}
}
