Learning Spring

I am using the book Spring in Action, 3rd edition, Walls, to learn about the Spring framework.

I have been following the examples in the book. Everything has worked until the Java configuration at the end of chapter 3. Two jar files are needed to run Spring with Java configuration: asm.jar and cgilib.jar.

Actually, that didn't work. I am using Spring 3.0 and the Java config is now part of the core. The problem is with the cgilib that is used in the library. I added cgilib-nodep.jar at the head of the classpath and it works.
