Spring-security 3.x doesn't work well with spring 2.x

Now only I spot that in my pom.xml file contain spring.jar is version 2 whereas the rest of the Spring component are version 3 and above. No wonder I have this error shown in the Eclipse console:

Found a related problem from StackOverflow. It is either upgrade spring.jar version or remove it.
