Spring Security SAML error logging throws an error

I am new to SAML as well as spring security. I have configured the sample app to connect to an ADFS server following the documentation. When I access the app, I get redirected to the ADFS server appropriately, but one I enter my username and password, I get an error back in the app stating that there was an error validating the SAML message.
In an attempt to see why this is happening, I enabled the message logging according to the documentation (enabling the three properties in the samlLogger bean). When I do that, I get the following stacktrace on startup:

Beginning Spring, "Application failed to start with classpath", "Error starting Tomcat context", and other errors

I've just started doing the Spring tutorial in the documentation (the first one - react-and-spring-data-rest, using a basic Employee class) and have a printout that I'm almost reluctance to paste, due to how large it is.
The project skeleton was generated by the spring-initializer and I'm running in IntelliJ.
Here's that pom.xml file:

It's hard to keep track, so I'll print the first part with an error after the server starts running.

So, I finally figured it out.
The #Id annotation in the tutorial was supposed to be imported from javax.persistence, and, because it was a spring tutorial, I'd carelessly imported it with IntelliJ from org.springframework.data.annotation.Id, so it looked the same, with a different import statement.
Several things I caught in the output: No identifier specified for entity:
Then, after running in debug mode, I somehow came up with a ClassNotFoundException from the main class, which, through SpringApplication.run() calls itself...and could not find...itself.
Ran me around it circles, but I eventually got the careless mistake.

Junit test spring controller mockMvc #ContextConfiguration

I'm writing my test cases with MockMvc. This is how my controller looks like:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/local-applicationContext-database.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-common.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-dao.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-service.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-ehcache.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-aop.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-transaction.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/local-applicationContext-host.xml"
})
public class ControllerTest {
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Before
public void setup() {
this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).build();
}
But I am gettinG ApplicationContext errors:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean (the beans which are defines inside the above inluded conext files).
If I us e the same configuration with old approach (i.e without using MockMvc , it works)
Any suggestions what is wrong here?

The problem is spelled at the end of your stack trace:
Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/cache/ehcache-config.xml]
This most likely means that Spring's MockServletContext is not configured correctly.
Please note the Spring TestContext Framework creates a MockServletContext for your test's ApplicationContext whenever you annotate your test class with #WebAppConfiguration. Furthermore, the default resource path for #WebAppConfiguration is file:src/main/webapp (i.e., from the file system, not from the classpath).
But based on the paths that you pass to #ContextConfiguration in your example, you obviously have the WEB-INF folder in your classpath. So it appears that your project directory layout does not follow Maven standards for a web application.
To get your test working, you'll need to ensure that you properly configure the root of your web application with #WebAppConfiguration.
For example, if you insist on having your web artifacts in the classpath, you could do something like #WebAppConfiguration("classpath:xyz") where xyz is the folder in your classpath that serves as the root of your web application.
However, I would strongly recommend that you do not store all of your web artifacts in the classpath. You really should store web artifacts (including the WEB-INF folder) outside of the classpath. By "web artifacts" I mean things like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, JSPs, etc. But I do not mean that you have to store your Spring XML configuration files outside the classpath. I actually recommend that you store your Spring configuration files in the classpath (e.g., src/main/resources if following Maven's directory layout) and then reference them in the classpath (as you have done above but without storing them in a folder named WEB-INF in the classpath).
Hope this helps!

i'm try to run firstFoundationClient but it have exception above
// locate the company home node
//
SearchService searchService = serviceRegistry.getSearchService();
StoreRef storeRef = new StoreRef(StoreRef.PROTOCOL_WORKSPACE, "SpacesStore");
ResultSet resultSet = searchService.query(storeRef, SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, "PATH:\"/app:company_home\"");
NodeRef companyHome = resultSet.getNodeRef(0);
resultSet.close();
i want to use above code to search node in repository to show on alfresco page ,i'm right?
sorry in my English
thank in advance
and this is my Hibernate configuration

The very last line of the stack trace you posted might be the important one, especially this bit:
org.hibernate.HibernateException: Hibernate Dialect must be explicitly set
You usually get this exception when the database connection is not properly setup. If the database connection fails, all the Spring beans that require the DB to be fully functional at startup time will fail to initialize, ultimately killing Alfresco before it's fully started.
Please verify that Alfresco can connect properly to the database and retry.

I tried to make a connection to alfresco using java with the help of alfresco sdk 3.4

I m trying to implement alfresco sdk 3.4 to java. I made all the changes as per doc given from alfresco fourm. After doing that I got this error. Please tell where i m going wrong.

When you run FirstFoundationClient, you are executing a Java program that runs the Alfresco server within the same process. When that program starts up the repository it needs to know information about your repo configuration. It does this by reading the alfresco-global.properties file. Inside that file you'll see things like dir.root, which points to a directory on your local file system where indexes and content lives, and you'll see a set of db.driver and db.url properties. Your error log appears to indicate that you have not set the db.driver and db.url appropriately. For example, if you are using MySQL, make sure the following is uncommented:
db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco
If you already have a working Alfresco repository running in Tomcat, you might want to grab your alfresco-global.properties file that is proven to work and copy it into the source folder for the FirstFoundationClient Eclipse project and try again. Make sure your Tomcat is not running when running this example from Eclipse.
