Professional Java Development with the Spring Framework
From the Editorial Review:
This in-depth, authoritative book-written by the lead developers of the Spring Framework-describes common types of problems faced by Java developers and then shows how Spring can help solve them.
Covering the complete spectrum of Java development, the book introduces well-known techniques (such as design patterns) to solve problems as well as new and innovative approaches that can be used in conjunction with other popular open source technologies like Hibernate and Velocity.
Comments
Is it available?
I have attempted to reserve a copy from B&N three weeks ago and still have not seen it? does anyone have this book yet?
I've got it!
I preordered in November on Amazon, and it arrived a couple of days ago. (I'm in New Zealand). Awesome book! If you can't wait, read chapter one on the Wrox site - it's a very nice overview.
Where in NZ?
Hey, Russell. Are you based in Auckland? Just curious on how popular the Spring framework is in NZ.

It is like a Spring Reference Manual
I am reading the book and I have read ProSpring book. On my opinion the Rod Johnson et al. book is more a Reference Manual for Spring and ProSpring is like: "Spring with examples", for each concept you will find a testing source code example.
On the Rod Jonhson et al book you will find a very clear explanation about Spring concepts and some times on my opinion, it is more clear than ProSpring. It covers more topics, but some times you have the filling it is a second part of the "Expert on-one-on...", so in order to understand better you should read this book before, at least in order to be familiar with the sample application example.
The examples are not so intiutive like in the ProSpring but if you have some ideas about Spring before finally you can understand, nevertheless like in tipical reference manual, you will find some "hints" about how to do something that usually it is not so easy to do, :-)
Any way both books are very good
Thanks,
David
