When i running the test i am getting the following error: Instead of using hsqldb, i am using mysql (it should not make a difference). I am stuck in the part 5.5 of the tutorial. You can access the tutorial “Developing a Spring Framework MVC application step-by-step using NetBeans and GlassFish” here. I modified the original tutorial to use NetBeans and GlassFish infrastructure, and these tools should definitely help increase the productivity for Spring developers. A very useful plugin for Spring development on NetBeans IDE. In fact, this combination worked out great for me with Craig MacKay’s plugin. I was able to run this tutorial using NetBeans IDE 6.0 and GlassFish V2 UR1 without any hassle.

Spring supports JEE technologies, this sample application should run on any JEE compatible servers without much porting effort. The sample in this tutorial was developed using Eclipse 3.3 and the application was deployed to Apache Tomcat 6.0.14. Thomas Risberg’s Developing a Spring Framework MVC Application Step-by-Step tutorial is a good one which explains end-to-end web application development using Spring Framework 2.5. Spring Framework tutorial hosted at provides details on how to use this module in NetBeans IDE. I was recently using the 1.1 release of Craig MacKay’s Spring Module for NetBeans which supports the latest Spring Framework 2.5.
