Query: Disappointing, too light

As a professional Java developer and unless you've been living in a cave for the last several years, you certainly know about the concepts of agile/eXtreme programming such as using JUnit, refactoring, striving for simplicity etc. All that is wrapped up in the first part of this book (pp.1-128) and it is not done particularly well: The examples are kind of 'Hello World'-ish, so there's little to be learned even for beginners.The two chapters about the Spring framework and Hibernate are also rather short (pp. 129-175) and merely scratch the surface of those solutions. The documentation available on the respective websites is far superior.My conclusion: this book is largely superfluous and a waste of paper. If you really want to know about Spring, check out the website and read the superb, in-depth "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development" by Rod Johnson.
