Need help setting up properties for ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider

Question

My properties no longer work with spring.

The error I get is:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ldapActiveDirectoryAuthProvider' defined in class path resource [application-context-security.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'user-search-base' of bean class [org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.ad.ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider]: Bean property 'user-search-base' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

<bean id="ldapActiveDirectoryAuthProvider" class="org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.ad.ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider">
        <constructor-arg value="someurl" /> 
        <constructor-arg value="ldaps://someurl" />
        <property name="user-search-base" value=""/>
        <property name="user-search-filter" value="(sAMAccountName={0})"/>
        <property name="group-search-base" value="ou=blahblah"/>
        <property name="group-search-filter" value="member={0}"/>
        <property name="role-prefix" value="ROLE_"/>
        <property name="user-details-class" value="person"/>

    </bean>

Answer 1

"user-search-base" should contain somethig like

"OU=myou,dc=xx,dc=yy"

Answer 2

All the property names you've specified are invalid, property names cannot have dashes in them (since they map to setters).
