I don't know of a book for all three. But you might consider these: JBoss at Work by Marrs and Davis (http://www.jbossatwork.com/). It takes you from scratch building a web application using JBoss and Hibernate. Very good JBoss "working with JBoss" intro. Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB by Johnson and Hoeller. Gives a lot of the background on what is Spring, and includes some info on Hibernate. (http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764558315.html) Profession Java Development with Spring Framework by Johnson et al. (http://www.springframework.org/node/128) Unfortunately, both Spring books are over a year old and do not cover the new features in Spring 2.x that make use of Java annotations.
