I am using spring 3.2.7. It was not having spring security jar. So I got it downloaded using maven. It's version is 3.2.4. What is this error? There's no error in code. What must have gone wrong? For last 3 hours I have been trying to run a simple example, but totally hammered by this error. Please help
