Watch your transitive dependencies. By using information from the question and mvn dependency:tree, this is what I get:

+- org.springframework:spring-context:jar:4.0.3.RELEASE:compile
|  +- org.springframework:spring-aop:jar:4.0.3.RELEASE:compile
|  +- org.springframework:spring-beans:jar:4.0.3.RELEASE:compile

You can see that the older versions of Spring WS and Spring Security pulled some old Spring Framework dependencies as well. I strongly suggest to add section to your POM and force those dependencies to be 4.0.3:

    
        
            org.springframework
            spring-web/artifactId>
            4.0.3.RELEASE
        
        
            org.springframework
            spring-oxm
            4.0.3.RELEASE
        
        
            org.springframework
            spring-webmvc
            4.0.3.RELEASE
