Error after adding beans

Question

I added 3 beans to my applications' XML file

<bean id="rememberMeServices"
    class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.rememberme.TokenBasedRememberMeServices">
    <property name="userDetailsService" ref="myUserDetailsService" />
    <property name="key" value="springRocks" />
</bean>

<bean id="rememberMeAuthenticationProvider"
    class="org.springframework.security.authentication.rememberme.RememberMeAuthenticationProvider">
    <property name="key" value="springRocks" />
</bean>

Also, I added the spring-security-web, spring-security-core, spring-security-config, spring-context dependencies to POM file as well.

However, I am still getting the following error message: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'rememberMeFilter' defined in class path resource [META-INF/App-setup/applicationcontext-security.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate

Am I missing any dependencies?

The correct class path for RememberMeAuthenticatioinProvider is:

org.springframework.security.authentication.RememberMeAuthenticationProvider

I think there's a typo in your document.

~~Your other bean reference should be updated too~~

Edit

It seems you're using the newer version of RememberMeAuthenticationProvider than your document.

The default constructor for RememberMeAuthenticationProvider is not public anymore. This is the only constructor left:

RememberMeAuthenticationFilter(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager, RememberMeServices rememberMeServices)

So you must provide constructor arguments:

<bean id="rememberMeAuthenticationProvider"
    class="org.springframework.security.authentication.rememberme.RememberMeAuthenticationProvider">
    <constructor-arg ref="yourAuthManager"/>
    <constructor-arg ref="rememberMeServices"/>
    <property name="key" value="springRocks" />
</bean>
