Spring dependency issue - no matching editors or conversion strategy found

I have a web application which fails while deployment. I get following error:

I am loading my configuration XML's in web.xml using:

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            WEB-INF/spring/spring-security.xml
            WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext-db.xml
            WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml
        </param-value>
    </context-param>

The error comes from my spring-security.xml file, which has :

My CustomLoginSuccessHandler class is like:

public class CustomLoginSuccessHandler implements AuthenticationSuccessHandler {


    /** The redirect strategy. */
    private RedirectStrategy redirectStrategy = new DefaultRedirectStrategy();

    /** The ldap contact. */
    @Autowired
    LDAPUtil ldapContact;

I am new to spring but i guess it is due to the bean dependencies configuration.

1. What is the sequence of spring bean dependency, does it uses sequence of XML configuration from web.xml?
2. Suppose I refer bean A in a XML file, which is defined below where it is refered, will it create any problem?

EDIT

My LDAPUtil class is like:

private LdapOperations ldapTemplate;

public void setLdapTemplate(LdapTemplate ldapTemplate) {
            this.ldapTemplate = ldapTemplate;
}

The error gives useful elements. The cause (last error in chain) is (stripped down string) :

Error creating bean with name 'ldapContact' ... Failed to convert property value of type '$Proxy213 implementing ... LdapOperations ...' to required type '....LdapTemplate' for property 'ldapTemplate'

You did not show LdapUtil source, but from CustomSuccessHandler and the error, I presume it contains somewhere :

@Autowired
LdapTemplate ldapTemplate;

The error indicates that there is an AOP proxying mechanisme around the ldapTemplatebean.

It is not a problem, except that by default Spring AOP uses JDK proxies, and a proxy implements all interfaces, but does not extends the original class. You should be able to fix the error by referencing ldapTemplate through an interface :

@Autowired
LdapOperations ldapTemplate;

Alternatively, you can ask Spring to use cglib proxies, that do extend original class by using <aop:config proxy-target-class = "true"> in xml file (or <aop:aspectj-autoproxy proxy-target-class="true"/> if you are using annotations). But that requires cglib jars to be on the path, and as you can use interfaces, I advice you to use first solution.

EDIT :

Your edited post shows how you load ldapTemplate in LdapUtil. You load it as a class, when you should use the interface that way :

private LdapOperations ldapTemplate;

public void setLdapTemplate(LdapOperations ldapTemplate) {
            this.ldapTemplate = ldapTemplate;
}
