Spring 3.0 - Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]

Question

Any ideas what could be the cause of this?

Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]

org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader initWebApplicationContext: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]
Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]

This is my applicationContext.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd

        http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd"&gt;
...
</beans:beans>

In my pom.xml I have:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>      
    <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-openid</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I needed to add an additional Maven dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
