Haste, full attack, and spring attack

[Kershek]

Need an official ruling, please.

When hasted, can you do a full attack action in the middle of a spring attack?

It appears that, in order to do this, you would need to split up the partial action granted by haste before and after the normal action allowed. Normally, when hasted, you get one of the following:

partial + normal round
normal round + partial

This could amount to something like the following:

Move 30 feet + full attack

Can you use spring attack as the extra partial action? It would have to go like this, for a fighter who moves 30 feet:

move 15' spring attack + full attack + move 15' back spring attack

As you can see, it splits up the spring attack before and after the full attack.

Although I've done some forum searching elsewhere, it appears it's a 'DM call'. Has anyone found an official ruling on this?

No. Haste gives you an extra partial action. You can't combine a standard action and partial action to get a full action. Also, the extra partial action comes before or after your regular actions. Spring Attack simply allows you to take your standard action attack during you move. You could take the haste action before your move (before the spring attack) or after your move (thus you could take it after your attack during your spring attack). Does that make sense? Not sure I explained it well.

Can you explain what you mean by that? Spring attack isn't a standard action. It just states using an 'attack action', and full attack is an attack action.

A full-attack is a full-round action. A single attack is a standard action. Spring Attack simply lets you take the single attack (standard action) during your move.
