java - Spring Security beginner's question. Build failed

Question

I downloaded all jar files for Spring Security 3.0 and added them to my lib folder in Netbeans 6.8. Then i added Spring framework to my web application and tried to modify applicationContext.xml as given in the pdf that shipped with Spring Security. This is it's code :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
       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">



    <http auto-config='true'>
        <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
    </http>

     <authentication-manager>
   <authentication-provider>
     <user-service>
       <user name="jimi" password="jimispassword" authorities="ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN" />
       <user name="bob" password="bobspassword" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
     </user-service>
   </authentication-provider>
 </authentication-manager>


    <!--bean id="propertyConfigurer"
          class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
          p:location="/WEB-INF/jdbc.properties" />

    <bean id="dataSource"
          class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
          p:driverClassName="${jdbc.driverClassName}"
          p:url="${jdbc.url}"
          p:username="${jdbc.username}"
          p:password="${jdbc.password}" /-->

    <!-- ADD PERSISTENCE SUPPORT HERE (jpa, hibernate, etc) -->

</beans>

This is my web.xml :-

My web application doesn't compile. I simply keep getting build failed. This is the stacktrace :-

Answer 1

You use security as a default XML namespace. You should either declare it as default:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"  

Or use prefixes for all security tags:

<security:http ...>
