I'm getting the following error when trying to run a project with spring and spring-security (it was running before I added spring security):

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - call 'refresh' before multicasting events via the context: Root WebApplicationContext: startup date [Wed Nov 30 10:49:27 CST 2011]; root of context hierarchy

Does anyone know why? I haven't found anything on the interverse.. here's my web.xml:

You'll notice it's similar to the tutorial. I've heard this issue might be a bug? Also as far as I know I've added the necessary jars and configuration.. but that might be an issue too. Finally I'm using spring-beans-3.1.xsd and spring-security-3.0.xsd because those match the major/minor version of the jars I have.

Have you enabled full DEBUG logging on org.springframework? That should tell you exactly who is trying to broadcast what event. What other spring configuration files are you pulling in? What versions of Spring Framework and Security are you using? — Peter Mularien

I'm not sure how to enable that logging on spring. I'm using spring 3.1.0RC1 and spring-security 3.0.7 — Josh

It turned out to be a jar issue, added the relevant jars and things work now :) — Josh

@AndrewBarber could you justify your reasons for closing this question or open it again please. It has 9 upvotes, 0 downvotes, 3 favorites and an intense irritation on an bad answer. It's also the top Google result for this error message: bit.ly/1ik4wzU — olafure

I was missing some spring security jars. Just didn't think of that when I saw IllegalStateException
