I'm using Spring-MVC (4.2.5) and Spring-Security (4.1.3) to develop a web application. I begin to have problems when I tried to incorporate the latter in my mvc project.
Currently, after several attempts, I get this error in my tomee server at localhost:8080/BetEx/
HTTP Status 500 - Filter execution threw an exception
type Exception report
message Filter execution threw an exception
description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

I think this error means that the framework fails to load DelegatingFilterProxy bean and to delegate it to the application context.
Where am I wrong? Thanks in advance
EDIT:
After I removed the following line from my betex-controller-servlet.xml, as suggested by dur
<bean id="springSecurityFilterChain" class="org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy" />
I get the following error trying to open my webapp's root:
GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet [betex-controller] in context with path [/BetEx] threw exception

After double-checking all the configuration file, after reading the documentation, I came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong. I simply solved downgrading from version 4.1.3 to 4.0.3
please change the url pattern in web xml. That should work.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/user/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
