title: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized
body: <p>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):</p>
  
  <pre><code>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

  <p>You'll notice it's similar to <a href="http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/tutorial.html" rel="noreferrer">the tutorial</a>.  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 <code>spring-beans-3.1.xsd</code> and <code>spring-security-3.0.xsd</code> because those match the major/minor version of the jars I have.</p>
