Seems like there are some jar conflicts, but i could not able to find it out.

Answer 1

The problem is here you might be using spring2.x.jar for the spring-security3.x.jar. As we know that spring-security3.x requires spring3.x and above. It doesn't support spring2.x. check the class path of your project, and make sure that there are no spring2.x for the spring-security3.x version. I found the solution when i got the same problem with the following link. Hope this link will helps you.
