I must say that as I am trying to get the overall "big picture", reading 
the API doc for every class has become quite teadious.

OT: Would getting the book "Expert One-on-One: J2EE Design and 
Development" give me a better overall insight into Spring? It is my 
understanding that Rod essentially outlined the Spring framework in that 
book.

Thanks,
