My xml file locations:

I think it can't find the /WEB-INF/config/security-config.xml

Answer 1

I think that the reason of your problem can be in that your xml configuration file for spring security isn't loaded when you start your web app.

To fix this you should specify all your XML config files in web.xml like that:

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

If you have your config files in classpath (not WEB-INF folder or it's subfolders) then you can specify list of config files in such way;

<param-value>
    classpath:applicationContext.xml,
    classpath:spitter-security.xml
</param-value>

And also you need to add special listener that will load your config files:

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