Spring Security无法解析XML

Question

I have a problem that I can't using spring mvc 3.2.4 and spring security 3.1.4. They throw and exception that they can't parse spring-security.xml. This is my sample code:

Controller:

    @Controller
public class HomeController {

    @RequestMapping("/home")
    public ModelAndView getHome() {
        String string = "Congrats ! You are done with your first Spring Security configuration !";
        return new ModelAndView("home", "string", string);
    }

}

web.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml,
        /WEB-INF/spring-security.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>

<!-- Spring Security -->
<filter>
    <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

spring-security.xml:

Answer 1

Your error is quite clear:

FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-security.xml]

Since you say that the file is in the said location, it could be one of the following:

• The file is open in an application that acquires a byte-range lock , preventing the Spring process from accessing it. Try closing all editor applications.

• You're looking at a different copy of spring-security.xml. Search your root directory for all copies of the file. You could be looking at a different directory entirely, so you may be seeing the file but it's not actually referenced.

• File is corrupted. Try to copy and paste the contents into a new file and save it.
