You need a spring-security-config jar on your classpath   The exception means that the security  xml namescape cannot be handled by spring  parsers   They are implementations of the NamespaceHandler interface  so you need a handler that knows how to process  lt security  tags  That s the SecurityNamespaceHandler located in spring-security-config

I had the same problem  The only thing that solved it was merge the content of META-INF spring handler and META-INF spring schemas of each spring jar file into same file names under my META-INF project   This two threads explain it better     maven assembly plugin and spring namespace handlers Thread  unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace

In my case  this was caused by custom manifest entries added by the maven-jar-plugin      lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt maven-jar-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 6 lt  version gt       lt configuration gt           lt archive gt               lt index gt true lt  index gt               lt manifest gt                   lt addClasspath gt true lt  addClasspath gt               lt  manifest gt               lt manifestEntries gt                   lt git gt   buildNumber  lt  git gt                   lt build-time gt   timestamp  lt  build-time gt               lt  manifestEntries gt           lt  archive gt       lt  configuration gt   lt  plugin gt    Removing the following entries fixed the problem   lt index gt true lt  index gt   lt manifest gt       lt addClasspath gt true lt  addClasspath gt   lt  manifest gt
