I want to improve my knowledge on jsp,servlets and ejb (basics of which i already know) I also want to learn springs,struts, hibernate and jsf, of which i dont even know head or tail and which are related among these 4. If anyone of you could name few books which wil help me learn these technologies it would really help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

The following is a good book about Struts 2: http://apress.com/book/view/9781590599037

Answer 2

I'm also a novice programmer. As far as I know,

Struts    - A MVC Framework leveraged with JSP & Servlets.

Hibernate - Is a Object-Relational Mapping library, a leveraged similarity to manage DB
            connections in Java

Spring    - For creating we-applications, on top of J2EE. I don't know much about this...

I like to share the books my friend suggested for the same topic :

Hibernate in Action, Struts in Action, Struts Framework - Practical Guide For Java Programmers.

I think it'll help you...

Answer 3

My recommendation would be to look at these 2 editorials:

• Manning (In Action series)
• O'Reilly (Head First labs)

and pick books related tot he subjects you want to learn. They are (probably) the best in the industry. Specially the Head First series.
