Spring Security without web components

[vertti]

I've configured by Spring Batch job to login to our system that is using Spring Security. Now when running this batch job I get:

ERROR org.springframework.security.config.SecurityNamesp aceHandler - Failed to load required web classes
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy

The job continues just fine but I'm left wondering is this (context) configuration error on my behalf or is it even possible to run Spring Security without web dependencies?

What does your configuration look like? What version of Spring Security are you using? If you are not using the latest version ensure you have updated.
