Here's my list, pretty much in the order I'd recommend learning them:

1- Core Java, particularly Collections and related.

2- HTTP servlets, and JSPs with a focus on the latter as *strictly* view
artifacts. Learn the Sun "Model 2" architecture for Model-View-Controller (MVC).

Do not pollute JSPs with direct Java code!

3- Apache Tomcat. Configuration and deployment until you get it.

4- Java Server Faces. Forget Struts at first.

5- RDBMS: PostgreSQL or Derby and its JDBC connection to your apps.

In lieu of Postgres there are free offerings of IBM's DB2 Express and Oracle's
Oracle Express databases.
