Looks like that the missing class, which is required by spring-webmvc, is available since spring-core version 4.2.3 (https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/core/MethodIntrospector.html), but you are using 4.2.2. Try to add an explicit version of spring-core with version 4.2.3 or try the newer version of spring-security-web 4.0.4.RELEASE. This version uses spring-core in version 4.2.5.
