Programmers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'm a programmer that have worked with different sorts of technologies like HTML, CSS, Core Java, Servlets, JSP, PL/SQL, PHP, Flex and Android. I've worked with Java and Sevlets a long time ago. I have not educated myself to the new technologies in Java, like Spring and Spring MVC.

Now I want to learn Webservices in Java, Spring and Spring MVC and want to do some projects to get practical knowledge.

I have gone through different forums about learning Spring and Spring MVC and I've found that the Spring official documentation is very good.

I would like to know what are the prerequisites (and in which order) to learn Spring and Spring MVC.

You should learn the Spring core first as all other modules such as SpringMVC use Spring core. Refer to the official documentation here , it is from Chapter 4 to Chapter 6 .

The view of the Spring MVC uses JSP by default , you should also have to know the JSP , EL expression and Servlet . If you are familiar with these technologies , you can go ahead to read the Spring MVC (Chapter 16).

Thank you, +1 from me. I was looking for this very manual, but couldn't find it. – Gangnus Jan 15 at 16:17

these tutorials seem pretty up to date... good for learning Spring MVC, hibernate configuration, security, TDD and the rest. Mostly annotations based which makes things much easier than dealing with xml configuration files nightmare!!
