Answer 1

Add dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Or gradle

dependencies {  
  compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:4.0.1.RELEASE'
}

Answer 2

WebInvocationPrivilegeEvaluator interface is present in

org.springframework.security.web.access package

spring-security-web-5.0.4.RELEASE.jar

Remove the existing jar files from .m2 folder and make a fresh build..

C:\Users\user.m2\repository\org\springframework\security\spring-security-web\5.0.4.RELEASE

I used version 5.., in your case 4..

It worked in my case, my problem has resolved

            <artifactId>spring-security-messaging</artifactId>
        </dependency>
