HI I am having some mis config in the xml configuraiton, but I couldn't couldn't found out where it got wrong.
Here is its error exception during its deployment:

Any help is much appreciated.

I found this thread.

The thread mentioned above involves deploying in Jboss. Jboss 5.x apparently validates all xmls in /WEB-INF folder. The solution involves moving the xmls that get the errors, into a sub-folder in /WEB-INF. For example, move the xmls that is getting the error into /WEB-INF/myXmls. Of course, adjust the configurations, etc. that need to point to the new xml locations.

the I changed the xml file to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security" xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd"> <!-- Configure Spring Security --> <security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" access-denied-page="/deliveries/auth/denied" > <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/auth/login" access="permitAll"/> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/addDelivery" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/editDelivery" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/deleteDelivery" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <!-- <security:intercept-url pattern="/j_spring_security_check" access="ROLE_SUPERVISOR" />--> <security:form-login login-page="/deliveries/auth/login" authentication-failure-url="/deliveries/auth/login?error=true" default-target-url="/deliveries/"/> <security:logout invalidate-session="true" logout-success-url="/deliveries/" logout-url="/deliveries/auth/logout"/> </security:http> <security:authentication-manager> <!-- Declare an authentication-manager to use a custom userDetailsService --> <security:authentication-provider user-service-ref="customUserDetailsService"> <security:password-encoder ref="passwordEncoder"/> </security:authentication-provider> </security:authentication-manager> <context:annotation-config /> <!-- Use a Md5 encoder since the user's passwords are stored as Md5 in the database --> <!-- <bean class="org.springframework.security.authentication.encoding.Md5PasswordEncoder" id="passwordEncoder"/>--> <!-- use BCrypt encoder --> <bean class="org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder" id="passwordEncoder"/> <!-- A custom service where Spring will retrieve users and their corresponding access levels --> <bean id="customUserDetailsService" class="deliveries.manager.service.CustomUserDetailsService" /> <context:component-scan base-package="deliveries.manager" annotation-config="true" /> </beans>

Another possible solution that you can try that is also mentioned in the thread mentioned above, is to arrange the order of the schemaLocation data. That is, in the xml you posted above, change

           xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans   
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/context   
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd  
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd  
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/security  
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd"> 

into

           xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans    
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/context

sorry I messed up the xml config file.
the config file should be the one shown as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security" xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd"> <!-- Configure Spring Security --> <security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" access-denied-page="/deliveries/auth/denied" > <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/auth/login" access="permitAll"/> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/addDelivery" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/editDelivery" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/deleteDelivery" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <security:intercept-url pattern="/deliveries/" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" /> <!-- <security:intercept-url pattern="/j_spring_security_check" access="ROLE_SUPERVISOR" />--> <security:form-login login-page="/deliveries/auth/login" authentication-failure-url="/deliveries/auth/login?error=true" default-target-url="/deliveries/"/> <security:logout invalidate-session="true" logout-success-url="/deliveries/" logout-url="/deliveries/auth/logout"/> </security:http> <security:authentication-manager> <!-- Declare an authentication-manager to use a custom userDetailsService --> <security:authentication-provider user-service-ref="customUserDetailsService"> <security:password-encoder ref="passwordEncoder"/> </security:authentication-provider> </security:authentication-manager> <context:annotation-config /> <!-- Use a Md5 encoder since the user's passwords are stored as Md5 in the database --> <!-- <bean class="org.springframework.security.authentication.encoding.Md5PasswordEncoder" id="passwordEncoder"/>--> <!-- use BCrypt encoder --> <bean class="org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder" id="passwordEncoder"/> <!-- A custom service where Spring will retrieve users and their corresponding access levels --> <bean id="customUserDetailsService" class="deliveries.manager.service.CustomUserDetailsService" /> <context:component-scan base-package="deliveries.manager" annotation-config="true" /> </beans>

Try reordering, and removing :beans from xlmns:beans, and adding the xlmns:security where appropriate, as below, from:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"  
xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans   
                http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd  
                http://www.springframework.org/schema/security   
                http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd   
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx

            http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
