I'd suggest starting with looking at http://projects.spring.io/spring-roo, which is a project for rapidly spinning up spring. Not that roo itself is what your looking fort but how it uses spring and sets up the environment is a good example of how to do spring right.

As far as rest Oliver Gerki is the defacto dude to follow and pay attention to... https://spring.io/team/ogierke. He has a wealth of knowledge that he has authored or responded to in StackOverflow, youtube, spring tutorials...

Otherwise join #spring on freenode is a good irc to ask some questions!

My employer wants me to learn RESTful programming and the Java Spring framework. Does anyone have dead tree suggestions, preferably with exercises.
