[RESOLVIDO] - Spring Security 3 - NullPointerException

Boa tarde, galera

Estou tentando implementar Spring Security 3 na minha aplicação, com JTA.
estou usando:

Servidor: Glassfish 3.1
Spring Security: 3.0.5
Hibernate: 4.1
JSF: 2.1.x

Erro do log ao tentar logar no sistema:

persistence.xml :

[code]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<persistence-unit name="primary" transaction-type="JTA">

[/code]

Separei a configuração do spring em 2 duas partes

db.xml

[code]context:annotation-config/

<context:component-scan base-package=“br.com.testSpring”/>

jdbc/segDS

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager=“transactionManager”/>
<tx:jta-transaction-manager />

[/code]

applicationContext-security.xml

[code]

<http use-expressions="true" auto-config="true" > 

    <intercept-url pattern="/pages/**" access="isAuthenticated()" />
    <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" />
    
    <form-login login-page="/login.xhtml" authentication-failure-url="/login.xhtml" />
    
    <access-denied-handler error-page="/semPermissao.xhtml" />

</http>
<beans:bean id="userDetailsService" class="br.com.testspring.service.UserDetailsServiceImpl" />
<authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
   <authentication-provider user-service-ref="userDetailsService" />
 </authentication-manager>

</beans:beans>
[/code]

LoginBean

[code]@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class LoginBean {

@ManagedProperty(value = “#{authenticationService}”)
private AuthenticationService authenticationService;

private String userName;
private String password;

public String login() {
boolean success = authenticationService.login(userName, password); // o problema parece estar aqui pelo log

if (!success) {
  FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "", "Login ou senha inv&#65533;lidos");
  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, facesMessage);
  return "falhaLogin";
}

return "sucessoLogin";

}
[/code]

Classe AuthenticationService

[code]@Component
public class AuthenticationService {

@Autowired
@Qualifier(“authenticationManager”)
private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

public boolean login(String username, String password) {
try {
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken token = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(username, password);
Authentication authenticate = authenticationManager.authenticate(token);
if (authenticate.isAuthenticated()) {
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authenticate);
return true;
}
}
catch (AuthenticationException e) {}
return false;
}
[/code]

Alguém me ajuda?

Alguém poderia me dar uma mão?
