title: Tips or tools for debugging Spring applications?
body: <p>I am trying to use Spring for the first time in an application. The general issue that comes up repeatedly is how to debug Spring. The framework is configuration heavy so traditional code debugging seems fruitless. I have no real idea how to go about troubleshooting short of turning on the debugging level logs (which are lacking) and scanning through. </p>
  
  <p>Are there any general tips or tools to assist Spring debugging? </p>
