You probably already have looked at it, but the documentation on springframework.org is actually very good (something for Cocoon to aspire to ;-) -- the section on database access is at http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/jdbc.html
You can certainly work with the Spring database API directly and not involve Hibernate if you so choose. We use Hibernate because we like to conceptualize a database as holding Java objects, not just tables of data.
