Answer 1

I had problems with the new version of spring-social-facebook. To fix this using version 2.0.3.RELEASE paste the following code in your SocialService.java

@PostConstruct
private void init() {
    try {
        String[] fieldsToMap = {
            "id", "about", "age_range", "birthday", "context", "cover", "currency", "devices", "education", "email", "favorite_athletes", "favorite_teams", "first_name", "gender", "hometown", "inspirational_people", "installed", "install_type","is_verified", "languages", "last_name", "link", "locale", "location", "meeting_for", "middle_name", "name", "name_format","political", "quotes", "payment_pricepoints", "relationship_status", "religion", "security_settings", "significant_other","sports", "test_group", "timezone", "third_party_id", "updated_time", "verified", "viewer_can_send_gift","website", "work"
        };

        Field field = Class.forName("org.springframework.social.facebook.api.UserOperations").
                getDeclaredField("PROFILE_FIELDS");
        field.setAccessible(true);

        Field modifiers = field.getClass().getDeclaredField("modifiers");
        modifiers.setAccessible(true);
        modifiers.setInt(field, field.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.FINAL);
        field.set(null, fieldsToMap);

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

This code will not try to retrieve bio field from Facebook.
