Spring is a component model for enterprise Java, rich web, and enterprise integration applications. It provides centralized configuration and a consistent programming model for declarative transactions, declarative security, messaging, remoting, Web Services, persistence integration, MVC, Web Flow, rich web, enterprise integration, and batch processing. An advantage of Spring is that it can be used in lightweight, a-la-carte manner reducing resource consumption.

Spring is supported on all of our Tomcat hosting plans. To deploy Spring on your Tomcat 6 from Java Web Hosting either make sure that your war includes the Spring jars and config files before placing it into webapps where it will autodeploy or:

1. Place your config files into webapps/WEB-INF.
2. Place spring.jar and spring-webmvc.jar into webapps/WEB-INF/lib.
3. Place your classes into webapps/WEB-INF/classes.
4. Place your view files (html, jsp, etc.) into webapps.
5. Use the control panel to restart your Tomcat.
