I'm trying to add spring security to a regular JSF application. After repeated tries and I'm failing with the following error on tomcat bring-up.

Here is the entire stack trace. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: upon further tests, I notice the following stack trace, before the second set of SEVERE exception about BeanFactory not initialized or already closed

I see this code in applicationContext-security.xml:

<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-3.0.xsd
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">

You might be using incorrect spring version. For example, if you are using spring-xxx (spring-security-web.jar or spring-security-core.jar) version 3.1.xx in your library, this error will come out. Try change the code in applicationContext-security.xml from 3.0.xsd to 3.1.xsd (the version number in the code must match back to the version sit in the library folder).

Hope this help.
