I am trying to integrate my application with spring security. I have added my applicationContext-security.xml file in my apllication. but at the time of running, I am getting the below error:

I dont know why this errors are coming. previously my application was using spring 2.5.6 distribution jars. but for spring security implementation I have added 2 extra jars. i.e.
spring-security-core-3.0.2 spring-security-web-3.0.2

Below is my applicationContext-security.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

before I was getting the same kind of error for tag also. after that as you can see above I have commented that one.

Please provide me any suggestion where to look if any body has faced or has any knowledge for the same issue.

Please do a search before posting. You will find the exact same question has been asked and answered many times before. For example, [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10561579/the-matching-wildcard-is-strict-but-no-declaration-can-be-found-for-element-h) is an exact duplicate. — Shaun the Sheep, Aug 23 '12 at 17:07

You've probably forgotten to add spring-secuirty-config.jar to your classpath. (And use of Maven highly recommended because it takes care of dependencies.)

Hi All,
I got my problem resolved. As I have told that my existing application were using spring 2.5.6 so as soon as I used spring security 3.0.3 it was throwing several errors, after that I added some new jars.
spring-security-core-2.0.4.jar, spring-security-taglibs-2.0.4.jar, spring-security-core-tiger-2.0.4.jar, spring-security-acl-2.0.4.jar, spring-security-resin-2.0.4.jar, aspectjrt.jar, aspectjweaver.jar

and also modified some of the configuration in my spring-security-context.xml

Thanks you guys for your support. – Sandy Aug 27 '12 at 11:44
I did not found any separate spring-secuirty-config.jar for spring-security 2.0.4 – Sandy Aug 27 '12 at 11:52
So why did you change the version? In question you wrote you had chosen 3.0.2, then here you wrote 2.0.4 - they are incompatible with each other and having both in classpath will get you in trouble. I also checked [the requirements](springsource.org/spring-security/site/faq.html#faq-requirements) - Security needs Spring in at least version 3 so either upgrade Spring to >= 3 or downgrade Spring Security to 2.0.7. – Grzegorz Rożniecki Aug 27 '12 at 12:02
