I recommend JPA/Hibernate first. (Hibernate implements JPA so you learn both JPA and Hibernate APIs). That way you know how to work with the database. After that EJB and Spring. Knowing both will help in the long run. Luckily the concepts from one will expedite learning the other.

For EJB you may have the EJB 3 In Action (by Manning) which I have used, is a really good one. You may have a good coverage of JPA in the book itself. And for the Hibernate I think you can refer the documentation/API reference. I know there are more books for Hibernate/Spring too, but I cannot comment on them as I have not used any.

EJB 3 in Action covers JPA as well so I'd go with that. For Spring, Spring in Action is good as well.

Agreed. I only asked cause one of my former teachers said EJB is like the guide for the frameworks but when I did my own research online they don't seem to share too much in common. Anyways just for the framework part, which one shall I study first? Can I learn spring first cause lots of java jobs seem to favour spring over the other two?

Other frameworks like Spring/Hibernate etc... simplifies the most of old EJB (prior to 3.0) programming model.

It may be your personal preference and/or any immediate work you are interested in and the framework(s) which is based on.

I'd learn Hibernate first. (Hibernate implements JPA so this fits my earlier advice.)

So how about struts? Is it necessary to learn struts 1.3? Can I learn struts 2 directly or after spring?

Struts 1 and Struts 2 are completely different. Struts 2 is based on webworks. You can learn Spring MVC without knowing anything about Struts.

Thanks. One more question, which framework is the most useful for jobs?
