spring-ws-security dependency conflict

Question

I'd like to use spring-ws-security in order to secure my web service with Wss4jSecurityInterceptor and signatures. But there is a dependency conflict which make this system unworkable. The spring-ws-security:2.1.2.RELEASE seems to be not workable as well.

spring-ws-security : 2.1.3.RELEASE [compile]
 - wss4j : 1.6.5                   [compile]
   - xmlsec : 1.5.1                [compile]
   - opensaml : 2.5.1-1            [compile]
     - openws : 1.4.2-1            [compile]
       - xmltooling : 1.3.2-1      [compile]
         - xmlsec : 1.4.4          [compile] (omitted for conflict with 1.5.1)

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Problem is you are already including a the same dependency witha newer version I think something in the lines of this would solve it. Add it to your spring-ws-security dependency declaration.

<exclusions>
     <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.apache.santuario</groupId>
          <artifactId>xmlsec</artifactId>
     </exclusion>
