Spring-flex 1.5 / Spring security 3 / CNFE AntUrlPathMatcher

[klogger]

I have upgraded a project to use Spring 3.0.4, Spring Security 3.1.0.M1 and Spring-flex 1.5. I am getting the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionSt oreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext-habittracker-flex.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/security/web/util/AntUrlPathMatcher

The closest match I can find is:

org.springframework.security.web.util.AntPathRequestMatcher

but it seems to have significantly different method signatures.

Does anyone know where AntUrlPathMatcher is?

I am not sure what I did but I have obviously changed something as I am now getting:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.security.ConfigAttributeDefinition

This is only occurring if I am using the:

<flex:secured />

Without it, everything works fine. I am wondering if Spring-flex is thinking that I am using the old Spring-security-2 for some reason? I have checked there are no old jars laying around.

This is my spring-flex-config:

That is indeed strange, since I've removed the Spring Security 2 support altogether in Spring Flex 1.5. Perhaps you've got an older spring-flex jar somewhere in your classpath?

Sorry for the slow reply. You were correct, I had one old jar in the lib folder that was confusing things. The reason for the slow reply was that I was getting help from a knock on effect. This is the thread, and I notice that you are the same person helping me out again.
