Answer 1

You typically see such errors when your code is compiled against one version of a library but another version of the library is on the classpath at runtime.
If we look at the method in question we can see it does not exist in v3.1.1 of Spring Security
http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-security/3.1.1.RELEASE/apidocs/org/springframework/security/access/intercept/AbstractSecurityInterceptor.html
but was present in v3.1.5
http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-security/3.1.5.RELEASE/apidocs/org/springframework/security/access/intercept/AbstractSecurityInterceptor.html
I note the mismatch in your POM between spring-security-core (3.1.1) and the web and config modules (3.1.5). So we can guess that you code is compiled against 3.1.1 (look at the Maven dependency hierarchy) to confirm but that 3.1.5 is being used at runtime (look in WEB-INF/lib folder of your deployed web app to confirm 3.1.5 is present - this is being pull in as a transitive dependency of web and config modules).
Suggested fix is then to update your POM to point core module to 3.1.5.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
<version>3.1.5.RELEASE</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
