Answer 1

From the reference documentation for Spring Security 5.1.

Spring Security builds against Spring Framework 5.1.1.RELEASE, but should generally work with any newer version of Spring Framework 5.x The problem that many users will have is that Spring Security’s transitive dependencies resolve Spring Framework 5.1.1.RELEASE which can cause strange classpath problems.

The pom.xml shows Spring Framework version as 4.3.0.RELEASE and Spring security version as 5.1.1.RELEASE. A mix of incompatible Spring framework versions of different artifacts will result in such issues.

Please go through the shared documentation to understand how to resolve the same. Quoting from the documentation. With the BOM , the version of the depending Spring framework artifacts need not be specified. This would help in future upgrade of Spring framework version as well .

The easiest way to resolve this is to use the spring-framework-bom within your section of your pom.xml as shown below:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <!-- ... other dependency elements ... -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-framework-bom</artifactId>
            <version>5.1.1.RELEASE</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

will ensure that all the transitive dependencies of Spring Security use the Spring 5.1.1.RELEASE modules
