Spring Social - 404 error for facebook login

Question

I have spring 3.1 with spring security login in my app. I am trying to add facebook login using spring social to it. It goes to the facebook login page but post log in it throws a 404 error. I have this in the URL:

http://localhost:8080/TestProject/signin?error=provider#_=_

Here goes my spring social config:

<bean class="org.springframework.social.connect.web.ProviderSignInController">
<!-- relies on by-type autowiring for the constructor-args -->    
<constructor-arg ref="signInAdapter" />
</bean>

<bean id="connectionFactoryLocator" 
  class="org.springframework.social.connect.support.ConnectionFactoryRegistry">
<property name="connectionFactories">
    <list>
        <bean class="org.springframework.social.facebook.connect.FacebookConnectionFactory">
            <constructor-arg value="${fb.id}" />
            <constructor-arg value="${fb.passwrd}" />               
        </bean>
    </list>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="connectionRepository" factory-method="createConnectionRepository" 
  factory-bean="usersConnectionRepository" scope="request">
<constructor-arg value="#{request.userPrincipal.name}" />
<aop:scoped-proxy proxy-target-class="false" />
</bean>

<bean id="signInAdapter" class="com.Test.social.SimpleSignInAdapter"/>

<bean id="usersConnectionRepository" 
  class="org.springframework.social.connect.jdbc.JdbcUsersConnectionRepository">
<constructor-arg ref="dataSource" />
<constructor-arg ref="connectionFactoryLocator" />
<constructor-arg ref="textEncryptor" />
</bean>

<bean id="textEncryptor" class="org.springframework.security.crypto.encrypt.Encryptors" 
        factory-method="noOpText" />
 </beans>

Any thoughts?

I too just suddently happened to get a redirect to signin?error=provider#_=_.

The reason was that just before this "error message" repeatedly happened, I updated my local JDK installation. With this new JDK installation, also any changes to my Java installation security settings were resetted to "fresh installation defaults". In particular, my manually installed UnlimitedJCEPolicy was no longer available. Reinstalling the UnlimitedJCEPolicy solved the problem in my case.

In my particular case, I'm not using a noOpText() TextEncryptor, but a queryableText(..) TextEncryptor.
