I had the same problem as you. Two hours finding was going wrong... After found your question and saw that probably it's a dependency problem.

It is, I solved this issue just adding spring beans dependency

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
  </dependency>
