Spring security3 “You cannot use a spring-security-2.0.xsd schema”

Question

I keep getting...

    org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: 
Configuration problem: You cannot use a spring-security-2.0.         


        

Answer 1

you can just remove the version 3.1 from the spring-security.xml file

Answer 2

@Rob Winch is absolutely right, there is example of updated spring-security.xml file:

<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-3.1.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd">

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

    <authentication-manager>
        <authentication-provider>
            <user-service>
                <user name="user" password="user" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
            </user-service>
        </authentication-provider>
    </authentication-manager>

</beans:beans>

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

The schema you are pointing to is spring-security-3.1.xsd, but the pom.xml declares spring-security-config-3.0.1.RELEASE. You should update your version of Spring Security or downgrade the version of the spring security namespace. Note when changing versions ensure that all Spring versions match and all Spring Security versions match (this includes transitive dependencies) otherwise you will get strange errors.
