Parsing errors with my Spring Security 2.0.4

[partyk1d24]

I am trying to integrate a legacy LDAP application into my web app in order to gain access to the Spring Security Framework. I tried to update it to 3.0 but that is basically a no go. I am getting the following error...

Error creating bean with name '_securityContextSource': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.security.ldap.DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.ldap.BadLdapGrammarException: Failed to parse DN; nested exception is org.springframework.ldap.core.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 1, column 1.  Encountered: "$" (36), after : ""

Let me know what other information you may need.

Thanks

If you mean you are trying to upgrade to Spring Security 3, then check your classpath as it looks like you still have 2.0 jars present.
