BeanCreationException during acceptance tests - spring

Question

I use Spring Security to authentication.
I modified my annotation #Page which define which type of user is able to access page.
After that in my acceptance tests i started to get errors in:
public void login(#Named("email") String email, #Named("password") String password) {
fillUpLoginForm(email, password);
waitForElement(MosquitoElements.MainNavigationBar.LOGOUT);
securityService.login(email, password); // authenticates user in test environment too
}
i found that there's something wrong here:
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken token = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(email, password);
getSecurityContext().setAuthentication(authenticationManager.authenticate(token));
What can cause problem?
Error:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'scopedTarget.securityContext': Scope 'session' is not active for the current thread; consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean if you intend to refer to it from a singleton; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.
Change in annotation:
before
boolean requiresAdminPrivileges() default false;
after
Authorities[] requiredAuthorities();
In appliaction everything works fine, only tests have probles.

Try to emulate sesseion scope in your test's application context:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomScopeConfigurer">
<property name="scopes">
<map>
<entry key="session">
<bean class="org.springframework.context.support.SimpleThreadScope"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
