Spring Bean Factory cannot see classes

I'm developing an application that uses JSF (Mojarra) to control de MVC flow, but I also want to integrate Spring Security for its Autehntication and Authorization processes.
However, I'm having a problem where Spring Bean Factory cannot instantiate the classes that I build to do custom login and so on. From there, the system doesn't even go online.
The stacktrace starts with:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.tfduque.fieldAssist.manager.LoginBean
And then
org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [com.tfduque.fieldAssist.manager.LoginBean] for bean with name 'authenticationEntryPoint' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.tfduque.fieldAssist.manager.LoginBean
And so on...
(Full stacktrace)
This is how my folders are organized, if it matters:
My application context (for spring security configurations):
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"

Some of my web.xml configs (btw, I'm also using weld for injection):
<servlet>

<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

Login Bean is annotated like this:
#Named("login")
#RequestScoped
public class LoginBean {
public String doLogin() throws IOException, ServletException {
[...]
}
I think that this is all needed to understand the problem.

spring security authentification

I try to use Spring Security for an application which has 3 kinds of users: Admin, employee, and responsible. each one must be redirected after his authentication to his jsp pages which are grouped in a folder
this is my spring configuration but it doesn't work:
<beans: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"

<http auto-config="true">

<user name="emp" password="123456" authorities="ROLE_EMP" />
</user-service>
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>
</beans:beans>
and this is my web.xml:

#sad,
You are trying to use spring security as a re-director rather than its actual purpose. What your spring security definition means is that you are granting different users different levels of entitlements. So while Admin can visit every URL of your app, an employee may only have access to any area that begins with /employee URL. The actual redirection will happen within your Disptacher Servlet/Controller configuration. Thanks.

"Link doesn't work" after adding basic Spring Security support

I had basic Spring MVC + Hibernate application. Here is my web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Everything was OK with it.
Then I tried to add basic Spring Security support to the app by adding the following to web.xml:
<filter>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy
</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/security-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
My /WEB-INF/security-context.xml looks like following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<beans: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-3.0.xsd">
<http>
<intercept-url pattern="/index*" access="ROLE_USER"/>
<form-login login-page="/login.jsp" default-target-url="/index"
authentication-failure-url="/login.jsp?error=true"/>
<logout logout-url="/logout" logout-success-url="/index"/>
<remember-me/>
</http>
<authentication-manager>
<authentication-provider>
<user-service>
<user name="user" password="pass" authorities="ROLE_USER"/>
</user-service>
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>
</beans:beans>
After adding that stuff the application breaks down. It simply shows "Link doesn't work. Try to search it in Google." in Chrome.
Did I miss something? Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

</beans>
try with the above code for security-context.xml.

Thanks you all. Just solved it. The problem was that I used http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd in the /WEB-INF/security-context.xml namespace, but used 3.1.2.RELEASE version of spring-security libs.

How use Spring Security 3 on Struts 2?

I have read a lot of tutorials about using Spring Security 3 on Struts 2. But I can't make it work :/.
I can't find a "Dummy step by step guide" about implement this framework on Struts 2.
Here is what I have:

And my HelloWorld.jsp
<body>
<h1>Welcome!</h1><br />
<sec:authorize access="isAnonymous()">
This session will be visible to an admin only.<br/>
You are an Administrator.<br/>
</sec:authorize>
<sec:authorize access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')">
This session will be visible to an Customer only.<br/>
You are an Customer.<br/>
</sec:authorize>
${HelloMessage}<br />
Logout
</body>
I want to test how the privileges works using the tag "isAnonymous" showing that block of text, but I can't make it work
:(

You need to add Spring Security's filter chain to the web.xml.
<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>
This goes after your Struts filter. This will allow Spring Security to check/block the request prior to Struts being handed the request.
Assuming the user is allowed to access the content Spring Security will set up a SecurityContext object that will make allow the JSP tags work.

JSF + SpringSecurity url not intercepted

I have a problem to run JSF and Spring Security.
WEB.xml:
<!-- spring and jsf configuration files mapping -->
...
<!-- JSF mapping -->
...

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

</filter>
<filter-mapping>

</beans:beans>
and http://localhost:8081/spring/pages/userInfo.jsf is accessed with no problem!

Based on the sample URL you provide ( http://localhost:8081/spring/pages/userInfo.jsf )
<intercept-url pattern="/pages**" access="ROLE_USER" />
should be changed to the following to match it
<intercept-url pattern="/spring/pages**" access="ROLE_USER" />
