[ajug-members] Learn Spring first, or...

[Kevin Brown]

A good starting place would be to learn Spring's 
TransactionFactoryProxyBean and figure out weather or not people 
typically configure multiple of these or run all of their services 
(e.g., axis, xml-rpc, other http servlets, daemon processes) through a 
single front controller and configure just one. 

Just kidding, not a good starting place, but...  Anyone have any insight 
into this?  All the examples I've seen are too simple, and I've to a lot 
of entry points into my system.
