Welcome to the home of Spring, the leading platform to build and run enterprise Java applications. Led and sustained by SpringSource, Spring delivers significant benefits for many projects, increasing development productivity and runtime performance while improving test coverage and application quality.
Introducing SpringSource tc Server 2.0 with new Spring Edition
Today SpringSource announced their plans to release a new version of the popular SpringSource tc Server™ product, this time with a special Spring Edition. The tc Server is designed to be the best place to run Spring applications and with its lightweight footprint is ideally suited for modern virtual environments. Bruce Snyder's blog post contains lots of details, but briefly the Spring Edition includes:
- Deep visibility into the health and performance of Spring applications
- Automatic monitoring of application, data access and custom components
- Reporting on application server status, health and response times
The new version of tc Server is expected to be available in April, but interested community members can try out the Developer Edition, ask questions on the tc Server forum, or attend the technical webinar that will go into detail about the product.

Spring BlazeDS Integration 1.0.2 Released
Dear Spring Community,
I'm pleased to announce that the 1.0.2 maintenance release of Spring BlazeDS Integration, the open source solution for building Spring-powered RIAs with Adobe Flex, is now available.
Download | Reference Documentation | JavaDocs | Changelog
Along with a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements, we have added full support for using Spring Security 3 to secure a Flex application using the same integration mechanisms as we've previously provided only for Spring Security 2.0.x. In order to effectively demonstrate this support, we've added an additional profile to the Test Drive's Maven build that will configure the application to use Spring 3 and Spring Security 3. See the reference guide for details on how to trigger this alternate profile.
As always, I encourage anyone interested to get involved by trying out the release and giving us feedback in the community forum and Jira. We continually get great feedback from people having success with Spring BlazeDS Integration in their projects, and we look forward to hearing more about your experiences. We'll now be shifting focus entirely to version 1.5, which will add support for BlazeDS 4, and will bring with it a number of new features, including an addon for Spring Roo. This is a great time to make yourself heard if you'd like to help shape the future direction of the project.

Spring BlazeDS Integration Lead
