Combining Spring security and JSF 2 : Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in ServletContext resource

Question

i am trying to integrate JSF2 and spring security, after solving this error (which was a version mismatch problem) now i am getting a new error. what is wrong with this configuration?

i have read this and this and some more, but none of them solved my problem

i am using :

<properties>
    <hibernate.version>4.2.6.Final</hibernate.version>
    <log4j.version>1.2.17</log4j.version>
    <slf4j.version>1.7.5</slf4j.version>
    <spring.version>3.2.4.RELEASE</spring.version>
    <springsecurity.version>3.1.4.RELEASE</springsecurity.version>
    <jetty.version>8.1.7.v20120910</jetty.version>
</properties>

spring-database.xml :

<beans xmlns="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">

    <bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/azraspina" />
        <property name="username" value="root" />
    </bean>

</beans>

and this is spring-security.xml :

        </authentication-provider>
    </authentication-manager>

SOLVED .

the trick was to add this dependency to pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-expression</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

it seems easy now :D
