Can anyone please answer this ..I am stuck..

[vkjk89]

ok .. I guess looking at the huge stack trace , no one is willing to answer this.
Let me simplify it.These are last 2 chunks of stack trace in console .
Looking for some responses.

Kindly help.

Is this a bug a in Spring security ?

[Rob Winch]

It appears the problem is you are creating a proxy object (likely an interface based proxy) and so it cannot find the method. Are you using global method security or other forms of AOP? If so try disabling it.

PS: Typically it helps if you post your configuration so others can reproduce the issue. Also please use code tags (i.e. the # button) in the future for posting anything requiring formatting (i.e. stack traces)

[vkjk89]

Hi Rob,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I am not creating any proxy object.
I am declaring authentication manager bean in spring security xml as follows :-

<authentication-manager>
  <authentication-provider user-service-ref="loginUserDetailsService" />
</authentication-manager>

and loginUserDetailsService is a bean in same file which is a java class (implementing UserDetailService) and returns an UserDetails object.

About AOP - I am using aopalliance in my application which is defined in my root applicationContext.
Is this the problem ?

[Rob Winch]

It is only a problem if you are joining on the Spring Security jars.

PS: Please use code tags (i.e. # button) when posting anything that should be formatted (i.e. stack traces, logs, code, XML, etc)

[vkjk89]

Sorry..but i did not get your point.What do you mean by joining with spring security jars.
I have all spring framework and security jars plus aopalliance jar in same directory (WEB-INF/lib).Is it a problem ?
