Yes, the JEE stack is huge. I don't program in JEE regularily so I can't
give expert advice here.

However, one book I got for myself helped a lot. O'Reilly's Head First
Servlet and JSP is a pretty good intro to just the Servlet part of the
spec. I think that's where you should start.

Learn the Servlets, they're the basis for everything else. There's even
a small section in the book about frameworks like Struts, which gives
you a lead in to other frameworks like Spring too.


I would not spend too much time on servlets.

Very little Java EE work actually involves writing servlets
yourself.

And the stuff you need to know about servlets are relative
easy to learn.
