Authenticating with Spring Security - spring-mvc

Question

I am trying my first demo using Spring Security via connecting to LDAP.
Sping version I use is:
3.1.0.RELEASE
Here is my security-integration.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
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-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd">
<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:com/demo/spring/security.properties</value>
</list>
</property> </bean>
<security:http auto-config='false' access-denied-page="/accessDenied" use-expressions="true">
<!--I've removed login."htm"?error=true-->
<security:form-login
login-page="/login"
authentication-failure-url="/login?error=true"
login-processing-url="/loginProcess"
default-target-url="/home"/>
<!--<security:logout-->
<!--invalidate-session="true"-->
<!--logout-success-url="/login"-->
<!--logout-url="/logout"/>-->
</security:http>
<bean id="contextSource"
class="org.springframework.security.ldap.DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource">
<constructor-arg value="${securityContextSource.url}"/>
<property name="userDn" value="${securityContextSource.userDn}"/>
<property name="password" value="${securityContextSource.password}"/> </bean>
<bean id="userSearch" class="org.springframework.security.ldap.search.FilterBasedLdapUserSearch">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="${filterBasedLdapUserSearch.searchBase}"/>
<constructor-arg index="1" value="${filterBasedLdapUserSearch.searchFilter}"/>
<constructor-arg index="2" ref="contextSource"/> </bean>
<bean id="bindAuthenticator" class="org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.BindAuthenticator">
<constructor-arg ref="contextSource"/>
<property name="userSearch" ref="userSearch"/> </bean>
<bean id="ldapAuthProvider"
class="org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.LdapAuthenticationProvider">
<constructor-arg ref="bindAuthenticator"/>
</bean>
<security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-provider ref="ldapAuthProvider"/>
</security:authentication-manager>
</beans>
However, I got this exception whenever I deploy my war:
HTTP Status 500 -

I have solved this issue by removing a dependency on AOP at my maven pom file:
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
