I am try for role based access in spring but got the following error:-

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'http'.

<http auto-config="true">
    <intercept-url pattern="/welcome*" access="ROLE_USER" />
    <form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/welcome"

    <authentication-provider>
        <user-service>
            <user name="a" password="1" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
        </user-service>
    </authentication-provider>

Seems, the required library files for Spring Security aren’t at right place. Are you using Maven and have maven dependency of Spring Security library files in your pom.xml file?

If it is then do a maven clean-up and have a try again. Otherwise you can place Spring security library files in the class-path directly.
