Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain#0' while setting bean property 'sourceList'
<p>I need to add spring security with my custom authentication provider class. This is my security configuration file.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

    &lt;context:component-scan base-package="com.me.web.controllers"/&gt;
    &lt;bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"&gt;
        &lt;property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/" /&gt;
        &lt;property name="suffix" value=".jsp" /&gt;
    &lt;/bean&gt;

    &lt;bean id="myProvider" class="com.me.web.controllers.CustomAuthenticationProvider"&gt;

    &lt;/bean&gt;

    &lt;security:http auto-config='true'&gt;
        &lt;security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')" /&gt;
        &lt;security:http-basic /&gt;
    &lt;/security:http&gt;

    &lt;security:authentication-manager&gt;
        &lt;security:authentication-provider user-service-ref='myProvider'/&gt;
    &lt;/security:authentication-manager&gt;

    &lt;mvc:annotation-driven /&gt;
&lt;/beans&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And this is the part from my web.xml related to authentication:</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;filter&gt;
        &lt;filter-name&gt;springSecurityFilterChain&lt;/filter-name&gt;
        &lt;filter-class&gt;org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy&lt;/filter-class&gt;
    &lt;/filter&gt;

    &lt;filter-mapping&gt;
        &lt;filter-name&gt;springSecurityFilterChain&lt;/filter-name&gt;
        &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
    &lt;/filter-mapping&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But I get the following error:</p>

<pre><code>    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.filterChains': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain#0' while setting bean property 'sourceList' with key [0]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain#0': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.web.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter#0' while setting constructor argument with key [5]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.web.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter#0': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.authentication.ProviderManager#0' while setting bean property 'authenticationManager'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.authentication.ProviderManager#0': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.config.authentication.AuthenticationManagerFactoryBean#0' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.config.authentication.AuthenticationManagerFactoryBean#0': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.authenticationManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider#0' while setting constructor argument with key [0]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.ConversionNotSupportedException: Failed to convert property value of type 'com.omd.web.controllers.CustomAuthenticationProvider' to required type 'org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService' for property 'userDetailsService'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [com.omd.web.controllers.CustomAuthenticationProvider] to required type [org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService] for property 'userDetailsService': no matching editors or conversion strategy found

<p>Any guess where the issue may be, or where should I look into?</p>
