Solution 1

Add dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Or gradle

dependencies {  
  compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:4.0.1.RELEASE'
}

Solution 2

Please add this org.springframework.security spring-security-web 4.0.1.RELEASE

Solution 3

for me I solved it by adding this dependancy :

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-messaging</artifactId>
        </dependency>

Working on a Spring project and am learning to use Spring Security. The project was working but has suddenly decided no to. Can anyone shed some light as to why?

WebInit.java

package com.catalyst.Config;

import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRegistration.Dynamic;

import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet;

public class WebInit implements WebApplicationInitializer
{
    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException
    {
        Dynamic hServlet;
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext hAnnoCTX;

        hAnnoCTX = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        hAnnoCTX.register(WebMVCConfig.class);
        hAnnoCTX.setServletContext(servletContext);
        hServlet = servletContext.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(hAnnoCTX));
        hServlet.addMapping("/");
        hServlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
    }
}

WebMVCConfig.java

package com.catalyst.Config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.catalyst")
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebMVCConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter
{
    @Bean
    public UrlBasedViewResolver setupViewResolver()
    {
        UrlBasedViewResolver hResolver;
        hResolver = new UrlBasedViewResolver();
        hResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/JSP/");
        hResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
        hResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
        return(hResolver);
    }

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry hRegistry)
    {
        hRegistry.addResourceHandler("/Resources/**").addResourceLocations("/WEB-INF/Resources/*");
    }
}

SpringSecurity.java

package com.catalyst.Config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.WebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SpringSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
{
    
    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception
    {
        web.ignoring().antMatchers("/", "/Error/**", "/Resources/**");
    }
    
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception
    {
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
            .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/Login").and()
            .httpBasic();
    }
    
    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception
    {
        auth
            .inMemoryAuthentication()
            .withUser("user").password("password").roles("USER").and()
            .withUser("admin").password("password").roles("USER", "ADMIN");
    }
}
