The Spring Framework is an application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform.[2] The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE (Enterprise Edition) platform. The framework does not impose any specific programming model.[citation needed]. The framework has become popular in the Java community as an addition to the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) model.[3] The Spring Framework is free and open source software.[4]: 121–122 [5]

The first version was written by Rod Johnson, who released the framework with the publication of his book Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development in October 2002. The framework was first released under the Apache 2.0 license in June 2003. The first production release, 1.0, was released in March 2004.[6] The Spring 1.2.6 framework won a Jolt productivity award and a JAX Innovation Award in 2006.[7][8] Spring 2.0 was released in October 2006, Spring 2.5 in November 2007, Spring 3.0 in December 2009, Spring 3.1 in December 2011, and Spring 3.2.5 in November 2013.[9] Spring Framework 4.0 was released in December 2013.[10] Notable improvements in Spring 4.0 included support for Java SE (Standard Edition) 8, Groovy 2,[11] [12] some aspects of Java EE 7, and WebSocket. [13]

Spring Boot 1.0 was released in April 2014.[14]

Spring Framework 4.2.0 was released on 31 July 2015 and was immediately upgraded to version 4.2.1, which was released on 01 Sept 2015.[15] It is "compatible with Java 6, 7 and 8, with a focus on core refinements and modern web capabilities".[16]

Spring Framework 4.3 has been released on 10 June 2016 and was supported until 2020.[17] It was announced to "be the final generation within the general Spring 4 system requirements (Java 6+, Servlet 2.5+), [...]".[16]

Spring 5 is announced to be built upon Reactive Streams compatible Reactor Core.[18][obsolete source]

Spring Framework 6.0 has been released on 16 November 2022 and came with a Java 17+ baseline and a move to Jakarta EE 9+ (in the jakarta namespace), with a focus on the recently released Jakarta EE 10 APIs such as Servlet 6.0 and JPA 3.1.[19]

Relationship with Jakarta Enterprise Beans (EJB)

Main article: Jakarta Enterprise Beans

The container can be turned into a partially compliant EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) 3.0 container by means of the Pitchfork project.[citation needed] Some[who?] criticize the Spring Framework for not complying with standards.[20][failed verification] However, SpringSource doesn't see EJB 3 compliance as a major goal, and claims that the Spring Framework and the container allow for more powerful programming models.[21][failed verification]

Spring4Shell vulnerability

See also: Log4Shell

A remote code execution vulnerability affecting certain versions of Spring Framework was published in April 2022 under CVE-2022-22965. It was given the name Spring4Shell in reference to the recent Log4Shell vulnerability, both having similar proofs-of-concept in which attackers could gain shell access on vulnerable machines.[22]
