No bean named 'springSecurityFilterChain' is defined

Hello again folks..I am having a problem and I hope I can at least get an answer here because, I haven't in the past.
The error that I am experiencing is this:

Not sure if it matters, but I believe the filter definition should be placed before the servlet definition.

You posted a reply to your own post, didn't you? Anyway whatever you are doing wrong is probably not really an OAuth problem, so you might get more help in the Spring Security or Spring MVC forums. You latest error and web.xml seem to say simply that you do not have a springSecurityFilterChain defined in your root-context.xml. Does it contain an <http/> element (that's the filter chain)?

No it doesn't. The <http /> tag elements are in the application context's xml. Looking at the sparklr example available for oauth, there isn't a root-context.xml...so my root.xml is just blank at the moment. See below application context:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Yeah I tried that but, same problem :S.

If you change the location of the filter chain from the default (as in sparklr samples) you have to tell the filter where to find it. Hence this section in sparklr web.xml:

Code:

---

        <filter>
                <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
                <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
                <init-param>
                        <param-name>contextAttribute</param-name>
                        <param-value>org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.CONTEXT.spring</param-value>
                </init-param>
        </filter>

---

Your servlet is "appServlet" (not "spring") so you need to make the corresponding change, but you can't just omit that parameter.

If your root context is blank, why not remove it? Or else move your filter chain in there and use the default filter settings.
