Pro Spring

Pro Spring is the perfect, simple answer for your lightweight, alternative J2EE development needs! Put simply, this book brings J2EE “down to earth.” Without the hassles of using the heavyweight EJB specification and similar, you can build lighter, better-performing applications using this Java-focused framework.

What's more, this framework can also integrate other noteworthy and catchy open source tools like Apache Struts and Hibernate. This book lets you experience a real application being built from the ground up with Spring, using multiple Web views and frameworks (while other books tend to use only one of each).
