Spring/Spring Security 3.0.x execution flow

I'm currently in the process of migrating an applicati开发者_开发百科on from Spring 2.5.6 to Spring 3.0.4 and Spring Security 3.0.2 and I was wondering if there was some kind of execution flow for both of these framework so that developpers could know what is being called before what.

For those of you who are doing this kind of migration, I can tell you that it's not a simple task that's why I was wondering if some experts, out there, in the wild, would have some references about these flow.

Thanks

You should start here:

http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.0.x/reference/springsecurity.html

This is a detailed overview of how spring works and will get you up to speed on the changes. Additionally I highly recommend the book by Peter Mularien - Spring Security 3.

With these two references you'll be on your way in no time.
