Reference material on Struts, Hibernate, Business laye

Hi,

I have worked on Struts and my current project assignment needs me to work on struts - tiles, validation framework and on the business layer - Hibernate 2.0, business delegate model, transactions and DAO.

As I have mostly worked on the front end in my J2EE projects and I am a newbie to the business layer(as can be inferred from this post), please let me know the links and/or books I would need to get me started on the the subjects mentioned above.

Thanks in advance.

Moderator,

I think i am asking this question in the wrong forum. Could you move this topic to the ORM forum. Or should I cross post my question there?

Thanks,

Pro Jakarta Struts by John Carnell and others is a good reference for Struts and covers the subjects mentioned. Hibernate in Action by Christian Bauer and others is a good reference for Hibernate. If you're comfortable with most of the material in these two books you'll be good to go.

Hi,

Thanks for the help.
