Spring Module Usage

[gopal venu]

Hi Guys,
I am learning spring and find it too big . I want to know which of following are mostly used modules of spring and must to know to work with Spring .

Spring Core,
Spring Context,
Spring DAO,
Spring ORM,
Spring AOP,
Spring Web,
Spring MVC,

As per my analysis most of current applications using Spring as middletier means using it COre,Context,DAO,ORM mostly and AOP little bit for Transaction only and MVC and web are least used instead prefered integration with JSF,Struts.

Need to know from you guys whats your exp/observation say ??

It's mostly Spring Core (Also known as Spring IoC container) which is mostly used. Other modules used with IoC are Spring MVC and may be Spring DAO.
