Spring is a [[Java]]/[[J2EE]] application framework that assembles components via configuration files. Spring is an open source project but is developed by engineers with Interface 21, and Spring Framework is a trademark of Interface 21. Spring is supported by a number of companies including [[Interface21]] and [[SourceLabs]], and is covered in SourceLabs "Self-support Suite for Linux and Open Source Java":http://www.sourcelabs.com

Spring's core technical selling point has been the [[IoC|Inversion of Control]] design idea, where programming is focused on interfaces rather than classes. Spring's design comes from the book "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development":http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764543857.html by [[Rod Johnson]].

h2. Mission

Spring's mission statement as articulated by Interface21 includes these points:
# J2EE should be easier
# Interfaces > Classes
# [[JavaBean|JavaBeans]] are good for configuration
# [[OOP]] > implementation technology (J2EE)
# Testability is important and should be easier
# Frameworks shouldn't force recoverable exception catching

And these direct points about Spring

# Spring should be a pleasure to use
# Spring APIs should not be a dependency
# Spring should not compete with good existing solutions like [[JDO]] and [[Hibernate]].
