FrameWork Links
Cocoon is a 100% pure Java publishing framework that relies on new W3C technologies (such as DOM, XML, and XSL) to provide web content.
Resin® serves the fastest servlets and JSP. With Java and JavaScript support, Resin gives web applications the flexibility to choose the right language for the task. Resin's leading XSL (XML stylesheet language) support encourages separation of content from formatting.
The Struts Framework. The goal of this project is to provide an open source framework useful in building web applications with Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. Struts encourages application architectures based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm, colloquially known as Model 2 in discussions on various servlet and JSP related mailing lists.

Books
A list of my top recommendations
Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Marty Hall, ISBN 0-13-089340-4
Very good "basic" reference book with useful examples. (Some books have such trivial examples)
More Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Marty Hall, Sun Microsystems Press, ISBN 0-13-067614-4. This is a just released book that covers material that most other Servlet and JSP pages do not cover in much detail. I consider it a "must have" book.
JavaServer Pages, Larne Pekowsky, ISBN 0201704218
If you want to "read a book from beginning to end" on JSP, this would be the one. Simple, clear and well organized. A good place to start.
Professional JSP, Karl Avedal, et. al., ISBN 1-861003-62-5
Some great code examples, the best I have found. More of a reference, though some chapters are worth reading if that is a area you are working.
Java Developer's Guide to Servlets and JSP, Bill Brogden, ISBN
Good code examples that are not found in most other books. Good XML examples using SAX and DOM parsers.
JSP Tag Libraries, Shachor, Chace, & Rydin, Manning Publishing, ISBN 1-930110-09-X, The best "all Tag" book around.

DHTML & JavaScript - ISBN 0-13-086334-3 - Under the theory if one book is not clear enough, another might help.
JavaScript Goodies ISBN 0-7897-2024-8 - Great Introduction.
