java.lang.IllegalStateException: ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized [closed]

Question

I'm getting the following error when trying to run a project with spring and spring-security (it was running before I added spring security):

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - call 'refresh' before multicasting events via the context: Root WebApplicationContext: startup date [Wed Nov 30 10:49:27 CST 2011]; root of context hierarchy     at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.getApplicationEventMulticaster(AbstractApplicationContext.java:337)     at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.publishEvent(AbstractApplicationContext.java:324)     at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.doClose(AbstractApplicationContext.java:1025)     at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.close(AbstractApplicationContext.java:988)     at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.closeWebApplicationContext(ContextLoader.java:538)     at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener.contextDestroyed(ContextLoaderListener.java:142)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStop(StandardContext.java:4174)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.stop(StandardContext.java:4778)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4675)     at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1045)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:785)     at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1045)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:445)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:519)     at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:710)     at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:581)     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source)     at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source)     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source)     at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:289)     at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:414) 

Does anyone know why? I haven't found anything on the interverse.. here's my web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"     xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans                         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd                         http://www.springframework.org/schema/security                         http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">     <http use-expressions="true">         <intercept-url pattern="/login" access="permitAll" />         <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="isAuthenticated()" />         <form-login login-page="/login" />     </http>     <authentication-manager>         <authentication-provider>             <password-encoder hash="md5"/>             <user-service>                 <user name="rod" password="a564de63c2d0da68cf47586ee05984d7" authorities="ROLE_SUPERVISOR, ROLE_USER, ROLE_TELLER" />                 <user name="dianne" password="65d15fe9156f9c4bbffd98085992a44e" authorities="ROLE_USER,ROLE_TELLER" />                 <user name="scott" password="2b58af6dddbd072ed27ffc86725d7d3a" authorities="ROLE_USER" />                 <user name="peter" password="22b5c9accc6e1ba628cedc63a72d57f8" authorities="ROLE_USER" />             </user-service>         </authentication-provider>     </authentication-manager> </beans:beans> 

You'll notice it's similar to the tutorial. I've heard this issue might be a bug? Also as far as I know I've added the necessary jars and configuration.. but that might be an issue too. Finally I'm using spring-beans-3.1.xsd and spring-security-3.0.xsd because those match the major/minor version of the jars I have.

Answer 1

add to your pom.xml. This will solve the problem

<dependency>     <groupId>cglib</groupId>     <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>     <version>2.2.2</version> </dependency>
