BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException - UserDetailsService Spring Security 3

[hrishi]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Spring Security 3.0.5 from Spring 2. I have implemented the UserDetailsService for authentication. But I am getting the below exception after submitting the login form.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException: Bean named 'org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor#0' must be of type [org.aopalliance.aop.Advice], but was actually of type [org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor]

Please help me with this.

The first thing you should do when you get an exception message you don't understand is paste it into google. Doing this I get this and this, amongst other things.

So it is most likely a classpath/classloader issue.
