You are missing spring-security-web-3 1 X RELEASE jar from your classpath

It happen if there are two more ContextLoaderListener exist in your project   For ex  in my case 2 ContextLoaderListener was exist using    java configuration  web xml    So  remove any one ContextLoaderListener from your project and run your application
