Welcome to the club. I haven't done Java web-development in like 4 years, and I was completely lost with which tools to use (at least for the server-end) and how they could be used to reduce the amount of code I could write. At the end of the day, I just decided to use my existing Java knowledge to get my project done because it's just a school assignment - there's no need for this to be super fancy.
It would be nice if there was some kind of short tutorial giving the strengths & weaknesses of each technology (Spring, Hibernate, J2EE authentication), what problems they solve, how they integrate together, the potential problems when combining them, and a short guide to getting it set up. Currently, it seems like it's just a mashup of having to do a search for every little feature you want, and hoping it all plays nice when you put the blocks together.
