Configuration problem: spring-security-web classes are not available spring, error

amy

Hello all,

I'm trying to follow the simple example on spring security + flex:
sprin...html/ch04.html

The problem is that no matter what I try, I get this error when trying to compile / deploy using maven :

Code:
Configuration problem: spring-security-web classes are not available. You need these to use lt;filter-chain-mapgt;
I have of course the needed spring libraries (maven managed and included in build path) :Code:
...
spring-beans-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-flex-core-1.5.0.M1.jar
...
spring-security-core-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-config-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-web-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
...
Everything else works as expected.

full stack trace :Code:

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thank you in advance

Looks like you're having this issue when running a unit test. How have you declared the dependencies in your POM?

Yes, the simple test is failing because of the Spring Security configuration.

spring dependencies in the pom.xml (lt;spring.versiongt;3.0.5.RELEASElt;/spring.versiongt;) :Code:

lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-corelt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;scopegt;runtimelt;/scopegt;
lt;exclusionsgt;  lt;exclusiongt;     lt;groupIdgt;org.slf4jlt;/groupIdgt;     lt;artifactIdgt;slf4j-apilt;/artifactIdgt;  lt;/exclusiongt;
lt;/exclusionsgt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-corelt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-contextlt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-context-supportlt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-aoplt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-aspectslt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-ormlt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-weblt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-webmvclt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org..securitylt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-security-corelt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org..securitylt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-security-configlt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org..securitylt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-security-weblt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-testlt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;
lt;dependencygt;
lt;groupIdgt;org.lt;/groupIdgt;
lt;artifactIdgt;spring-flex-corelt;/artifactIdgt;
lt;versiongt;${spring-flex.version}lt;/versiongt;
lt;/dependencygt;Alright, I needed to add (scope provided or else server will complain) :Code:
lt;dependencygt;   lt;groupIdgt;javax.j2eelt;/groupIdgt;   lt;artifactIdgt;j2eelt;/artifactIdgt;   lt;versiongt;1.4lt;/versiongt;   lt;scopegt;providedlt;/scopegt;
lt;/dependencygt;I'm facing the same error trying to follow the sample code in Spring Security 3 (nice book) chapter 2 where we're to import a dependencies folder and then import a simple security project. No doubt, I'm not linking the dependencies folder correctly, so I'm getting this error in the security project that just says my dependent classes (spring-security-web classes, in particular) are not available (see attached screenshots that I hope pulled in). Any help on how to properly link the Dependencies folder correctly...I tried numerous things from the project's Properties -gt; Java Build Path, but no good.

Incidentally, being horribly new, how do I paste code in these reply blocks so they format in the 'code' blocks nicely? Thanks for your help (and patience)

@William,

I'll follow up with a private message, since your question is book-related and not Spring Sec in general.

@astronaute,

Glad you solved the issue!
