A good starting point would be Mastering JavaServer Faces, which does a good job of comparing Struts, JSF, and Swing in the context of introducing JSF.
* http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=278 My favorite book for Struts newbies is Struts for Dummies * http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=278 Pro Spring has some nice chapters on Hibernate and iBATIS, as well as excellent coverage of both Spring and Spring MVC. * http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590594614/apachesoftwar-20/ Pro Sping is a huge book, but you don't have to read it all. :) After that, my advice would be to design a test workflow of your own that represents some miniscule piece of your application. Maybe a single find/list/view/edit workflow for the simplest entity you are likely to have, and try implementing it with the likely suspects. If your project hasn't selected a source repository, Subversion is about the best there is :) * http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0131855182/apachesoftwar-20/ And, just to round things out, my favorite IDEs are still by JetBrains * http://www.jetbrains.com/ HTH, Ted.
