How to setup swagger-springmvc 0.6.5 with a Spring 3.1.2 application

Question

I am trying to use swagger-springmvc 0.6.6 in a Spring 3.1.2 project. But when I deploy the application to Tomcat it's failing with an exception.

There seems to be a problem with versions I am using. swagger-springmvc also brings in Spring 3.2.4 jars which are conflicting with Spring 3.1.2 jars.

Error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name
'org.springframework.security.filterChains': Cannot resolve reference to bean
'org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain#2'
while setting bean property 'sourceList' with key [2]; nested exception is
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name
'org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain#2
.......

....nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheFactoryBean

The org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheFactoryBean class is found in both Spring 3.1.2 and Spring 3.2.4.

When I try to run the app in my Local smachine its running without issues.

Could someone help me to resolve the issue?

Please refer to this sample configuration. It is a very plain vanilla setup which shows the bare minimum configuration required.

JDK 6 Tomcat 7 Spring 3.2.4
