These are definitely good books, as well as EJB without J2EE.  If you're 
looking for something Spring-specific, you might check out Spring Live 
(www.springlive.com), which I'm the author of.  The next chapter (to be 
released early next year) discusses JSF and Spring with Hibernate.  The 
outline is at:

Other Spring books coming out are: Professional Spring (February) and 
Spring in Action (soon):

Hope this helps,
