I was looking at the TOC of the book and saw that you covered quite a range of topic related to Spring, so my question is since I've just started to learn Spring a little bit, are there any prerequisites for the book before reading it.
The only prequisite is that you are familiar with Java and with basic design patterns (like, Factory and Singleton). If you have developed applications using JSPs/Servlets that interact with a relational database, then the book is very simple for you to follow.
