Do you know why ?

[Marten Deinum]

You only included the schema location not a namespace declaration.

[michael.i]

You haven't declared the security namespace in the list of xmlns. You should have something like this:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"

...

http://www.springframework.org/schema/security

http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-2.0.xsd">
