I’m a beginner in practical real-world java programming. I don’t really understand these basic things in Spring – using it for jdbc calls (without any ORM), mail api, configuring logger. I think, I got a bit scared with the configurations (long, time-consuming) that’re required to get these things working.
Can anyone recommend dummies guide to get started with Spring/Struts 2 configurations or some practical notes from your day-to-day experiences on how to understand configuring part well..
Have you tried this?

Its not for dummies, but everything you need is in there. You can copy and paste a lot of it to get going (like configuration). Since you don’t want ORM, JDBCTemplate is your friend.
