i had the same problem, but i have a solution:

in your project file pom.xml replace:

    org.springframework
    spring
    2.5.6

for:

    org.springframework
    spring-core
    4.1.4.RELEASE



    org.springframework
    spring-context
    4.1.4.RELEASE

and say good bye to your problems!!

This two dependecies are the replacement for the firts dependency in the most part.
