Spring Security 3 Namespace Configuration Gotcha

[skipskipping]

Hi
I am not able to understand why am I getting the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: You cannot use a spring-security-2.0.xsd schema with Spring Security 3.0. Please update your schema declarations to the 3.0 schema.

when I try to run my application having following security namespace configuration:

Security configuration:

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc"
	xsi:schemaLocation="
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc  http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc-3.0.xsd
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/security 
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.3.xsd
	">
...
</beans:beans>

Could someone help me understand it please?

Thanks

What version of spring-security-config are you using? Ensure you are using at least spring-security-config-3.0.3.RELEASE since that is the schema you are pointing to.

Hi rwinch
Many thanks for the reply. I was the impression that I was using spring 3.0.5 library but I actually was using 3.0.0 one. I changes the jars to 3.0.5 version and I am not getting the error I was getting before.
Many thanks

But still, in my application any of the Security annotations are not working, even when I have <global-method-security pre-post-annotations="enabled" /> in my security configuration file.

@PreAuthorize and @PostFilter, none of them seem to be detected. I was trying the source code from chapter 5 of Spring Security 3 book written by Peter Mularian.

Any idea what I might be missing for the security annotations not to be detected?

Thanks

Let's please keep the discussion of annotations not working in its own thread
