I know good books on Spring and good books on JSF, but an entire book on both I know nothing of.
Actually, it's not really a big deal. If you include the Spring EL bridge into your faces-config, you can reference Spring Beans and inject them as managed properties into JSF managed beans seamlessly. I do this all the time to connect my (Spring-based) persistence layer with my JSF presentation layer.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
