Spring Security 3.1 and the Right Jars

I am using Spring 3.1 and I am doing LDAP for the first time.

Here is my * -security.xml:

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
  xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd">

  <http auto-config="true">
    <intercept-url pattern="/welcome*" access="ROLE_USER" />
    <form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/welcome"
      authentication-failure-url="/loginfailed" />
    <logout logout-success-url="/logout" />
  </http>

  <ldap-server url = "ldap://ldap-east.abc.acme.org:636/o=acme.org" />

    <authentication-manager>
      <ldap-authentication-provider user-dn-pattern="uid={0},ou=people"/>
    </authentication-manager>

</beans:beans>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I started using these security related jars in my lib:

spring-security-ldap-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-config-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-core-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-taglibs-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar

      

        
        
        
      

    

And I got this error message:

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Could not find: org.springframework.ldap.core.support.BaseLdapPathContextSource.
    If you are using LDAP with Spring Security, make sure you include the spring-ldap jar file in your application; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.ldap.core.support.BaseLdapPathContextSource

So, I added more jars to the lib to be this set of security files:

spring-ldap-core-1.3.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-ldap-core-tiger-1.3.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-ldap-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-config-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-core-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-taglibs-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-security-web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar

      

        
        
        
      

    

This took me even deeper even to the MORE error messages:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain#0'

I am catching up with a lot of things by learning Maven on my list, but I am not there yet. Any tips for getting the right mixing tanks for basic LDAP authentication with Spring 3.1?

I tried downloading all of Spring 3.1.1 dist, all of Spring LDAP 1.3.1 dist, and all of Spring 3.1.0 security layer. I have everything. So I don't understand how this is a dependency issue, FWIW.
