Answer 1

What version are you using?
Try using the version 1.1.0.RELEASE
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-social-facebook</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
If it not works, please try post the stacktrace printed.
You need to create a the beans to your class, please post more information like your pom.xml and your spring context configuration.

Answer 2

Ihad the same problem. Spring Social Facebook will automatically add connection factory based on the configuration in application.properties. This auto-configured connection factory is clashing with the one that you're trying to add. Try just to remove your connection factory you add through addConnectionFactories.

Answer 3

Try to use different setting to load your custom connection factory...
E.g. Instead of using OOTB keys use different keys:
#Facebook Social App Details:
# Commented below 2 OOTB Keys & Bingo it worked.
#spring.social.facebook.appId=APP_ID
#spring.social.facebook.appSecret=APP_SECRET
facebook.app.id=APP_ID
facebook.app.secret=APP_SECRET
This will resolve your problem.
