Beginners Question

Hi, I am going to be developing a small app using JSF for a college project.

A couple of quick questions.

Any sugesstions for best tutorials for a beginner (I have some servlet and JSP experience). I know I can google for them but wonder if any particular tutorials are outstanding.

I am trying to get set up at the moment but having difficulty because following one tutorial tells me to use certain jars but in the Implementation that I download these are not there. Obvioulsy newer versions are set up differently and the tutorials are somewhat out of date. I am sure this is a simple matter but as a novice its a bit frustrating. Would I save myself some hassle by just downloading java ee (I am using se ath the moment) Or can anyone point me to a tutorial for installing latest implementation.

I am using tomcat 5.5

Thanks in advance. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much for the response. Those links look like good places to get started. Would there be any great advantage to using Java EE or should I just stick with SE.

Go for Java EE. It contains the javax package which is very useful (or even required) for webapps. Like javax.servlet, javax.mail, etc.
