You're wanting to get back into writing web applications?

Web services?

1 - If you worked with struts before, I'd probably continue with that line. Or at least start there.

2 - I'd say Hibernate, but then I don't know that much about the others ;-)

3 - Java1.5.

I would also recommend you catch up with the changes between JSP1.2 and JSP2.0, particularly regarding JSTL and EL.

For learning JSTL, you can't past go the JSTL spec. It is quite readable, and an excellent reference. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/reference/api/index.html
