Roosome project with a minor LDAP beef

[spring.a.ling.a.ding.dong]

Good afternoon fellow Roosters!

I have a simple Roo project that has served me well. However, I decided to add on LDAP authentication to the application and this is when trouble came to paradise.

I simply added the following dependencies to the POM:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-ldap-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-ldap-core-tiger</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-ldap-test</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-ldap-ldif-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-ldap-ldif-batch</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-ldap-odm</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

and then I added to the applicationContext-security:

	<ldap-server id="ldapServer" url="ldap://foo.monkey.com:389/" manager-dn="cn=foo,dc=foo.monkey,dc=com" manager-password="foofoofooski" />
 
	<authentication-manager>
	 <ldap-authentication-provider server-ref="ldapServer"  
	    user-search-base="dc=foo.monkey,dc=com" 
	    user-search-filter="(displayName={0})"
	    group-role-attribute="cn"
	    group-search-base="ou=groups,dc=foo.monkey,dc=com"
	    group-search-filter="(memberUid={1})"
	    role-prefix="ROLE_" />
	</authentication-manager>

While this configuration might not be complete or even correct, the error I get at startup is:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.ldap.core.support.BaseLdapPathContextSource

AFAIK, this class should be deployed in one of the dependencies declared in the POM (see above.) Does anyone know what might be burning me?

The problem was an incompatibility between bouncycastle crypto and Spring Security.
