Spring framework learing

Hi All,

I am part of a project which uses spring framework for developing a internal knowledge management web portal.
I have an experience of three years and though I am new to the spring framework I can quickly adapt. My concern is with 11 other team mates for whom I have to act as technical lead/mentor and none of them have had any work experience in Java. I have made them do the mvc tutorial that comes along with the spring framework but I am still looking for ways to increase their Spring competence.
If any of you has faced similiar situations or can help me out I would be greatful.

Thanks & Regards

Send them to SpringSource Core Spring training classes.

Thanks Mark for the suggestion. The issue is my company does not sponsor such training courses instead it has its own training program which is not so effective. If I can get reference to some nice online resources, books or tutorials it would be of great help.

Thanks

Hi,
here is a couple of the books i can think about:
1. Spring in Action by Craig Walls and Ryan Breidenbach - Manning
2. Professional Java Development with the Spring Framework by Rod Johnsonet al. (John Wiley & Sons)

Cheers,
Oleg.

Let me rephrase his post. I have to edit and remove that link from it because it violates a policy of ours.
