Forum usage guidelines

Before posting to one of our forums, please:

Search for an existing answer to your question. This will save you time.
Review the documentation, including the reference manual, the wiki, and linked articles. There is a good chance the information you need is already available online!

A historic source of support information is the retired springframework-users mailing list. You may access the archives for this mailing list via GMANE or SourceForge.

Chinese Language Forum

A group of Chinese Spring Framework enthusiasts have set up a Chinese language Spring Framework Forum.

Think you've found a bug or want to propose an enhancement?

Enter an issue in the Spring JIRA Issue Tracker.

We value your support there. We can't fix bugs we don't know about!

JIRA usage guidelines

Before submitting an issue, please:

Do your due-diligence to verify the bug does in fact exist.
Search the issue tracker to verify there no existing issue reports the bug you've found.
Consider tracking down the bug yourself in the Spring codebase, and submitting a patch along with your bug report. This is a great time saver for the Spring developers, and helps ensure the bug will be fixed very quickly.

Enhancement requests for new features are also welcome. The more concrete and rationale the request is, the greater the chance it will incorporated into future Spring releases.
