Bean Creation failing after adding security jars - spring

Question

I am experiencing following error
Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'userAuditLogAspect': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private javax.sql.DataSource com.vzw.aspect.UserAuditLogAspect.dataSource; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [javax.sql.DataSource] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

Issue is as soon as I add the security dependency I get the exception. It has something to do with context But I am not sure.
Any pointer would be helpful.
Thanks,
Amit

Answer 1

Some of your Spring dependencies have version 3.1.1.RELEASE others have 3.1.2.RELEASE or 3.1.3.RELEASE. Use the same Spring version throughout. You should define a spring.version property in your maven pom rather than entering the values manually.
Check the classpath your application runs with (e.g. running the tests with mvn -X) and make sure there are no inconsistencies such as different Spring jar versions or duplicate jars with different version numbers.
