I am having a problem configuring my web-app to use Spring security on Virgo Tomcat Server.
I am using annotation based configuration – and would like to maintain using Annotations if possible.
Below show the logs containing the error message.
[2012-06-26 16:19:30.661] ERROR start-signalling-1 o.a.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/virgo] Exception starting filter securityFilter org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'springSecurityFilterChain' is defined

The @Configuration class giving me trouble contains the following code
package org.TSSG.social.statusnet.config;
--imports removed ---
@Configuration
@ImportResource("classpath:org/TSSG/social/statusnet/config/security.xml")
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
return NoOpPasswordEncoder.getInstance();
}
@Bean
public TextEncryptor textEncryptor() {
return Encryptors.noOpText();
}
}
And finally, my security.xml contains the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Just to add a quick note, My application works perfect on Apache tomcat.
after reviewing my build (using maven). I had the wrong directory structure therefore WEB-INF/lib was not getting picked up correctly for dependencies.
Problem has now been solved and working correctly!
