I used Spring In Action to learn Spring. I highly reccommend it
Initially, when I started 3 years ago, I was trying to learn Spring by example (by that I mean I was googling around the internet to get solutions) which is horrible way to learn Spring. You need to understand how DI and AOP works, otherwise a lot of things in Spring appear magic. Spring In Action does a good job of explaining that.
