You've got three major technologies there. It depends on if you're learning, or if you're knee deep in a project.
Really,
you should learn a bit about each one, and then look towards integrating them. So, learn the basics of JSF, then Spring, and then Hibernate, and you'll know all of the config files that are needed. From there, look in the back of a big Spring book, and it will talk about integrating the pieces together.
In my humble opinion, one of the big problems with these frameworks is that people do just that - they try and build these monolithing, framework bloated applications, without any real understanding or appreciation of what each framework does. You really need at least a basic understanding of each if you plan on integrating them all together.
