Title: Need Sample Code and Other References to Understand
Review: There is some useful information in the book that describes the technologies and how they relate to each other. Not a bad way to get your toe wet if you have not worked with these before. But I never got a firm understanding on how the Spring framework actually worked until I read other material elsewhere. It would be nice if the application's class relationships and the processing sequences were presented in UML diagrams. That way one could really understand the composition of a Spring application and how the application's components interact with each other. You will be left on your own to go figure that out. And a lot of us travel on business and with this book lacking diagrams or complete code samples you can't just read the book on an airplane or elsewhere. You really need to work through the code, study other reference material, and figure all that out while you read the book.
