mock instance is null after @Mock annotation

When you want to use the @Mock annotation you should use the MockitoJUnitRunner

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class MockitoTest {

    @Mock
    private IRoutingObjHttpClient routingClientMock;

    @Test
    public void testSendRoutingRequest() throws Exception {
        // ...
    }

}
