J2EE Struts,Spring and Hibernate Framework problem

Question

i am going to develop a web application using Struts,Spring and Hibernate. But i have no idea about any of them. Even i know little about JSP and nothing about Servlet. So my question is what to do? I have to learn all those things. But i don't have much time. Normally to learn something i read books on that topics or use tutorials. Now i need links of good tutorials and books on all these. or i need suggestion about how to learn these things. which to learn first and how?

Answer 1

You can start here official JavaEE 6 tutorials. You say you know nothing about servlets, so you might want to look at the older J2EE 1.4 for servlets and jsps.

Answer 2

You should forget about Struts, Spring and Hibernate for now. Put them aside.

The fundamentals are serlvets, JSPs written using JSTL, and JDBC. Those are the basis for Struts, Spring and Hibernate. If you don't know those you'll find the frameworks to be totally confusing.

You should do at least one web app using the basic technologies without frameworks. You'll understand what's being done, and you'll appreciate all that the frameworks do for you.
