spring error occurs when spring-security-xxx added - spring

Question

I tried to use spring security in my project.
But when I added spring-security-xxx.jar to my lib folder, following error occurs.
I have no idea about this. Does anybody know about it?
spring-cms-root.xml

I assume the ${spring-version} euqals 3.1.2.Release.
If so, the problem here is due to spring security 3.1.2 does not utilize Spring-Core 3.1.2 as you may expect. This leads to two versions of Spring core to be existing on your classpath & then cause the exception. For this reason, you have to explicit exlude the dependencies on Spring core of Spring Security in your pom.
See http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/springframework/security/spring-security-core/3.1.2.RELEASE/spring-security-core-3.1.2.RELEASE.pom.
