Job with Java

I've just been offered a job. Its a great job, which I can do in my spare time from uni, working from home. The trouble is, I need to get up to speed on Java, particularly JSP and struts very quickly, lest I be fired within a week. They don't expect me to be brilliant (its a learn-on-the-job type position), but they do expect me to learn pretty quickly and start producing output. I have a basic knowledge of Java already, but I need to get the whole struts thing going. Anyone know of the best online resource for this? I figured I'd ask here, because this is the place with the highest density of programmers I know

Thanks, it looks pretty good as a reference to get me up to speed on the actual language. But I don't think it deals with struts, and that's what I need specifically.

- Basically, first you had to write a Java Servlet that had a lot of Out.println..
-Then they copied the HTML with embedded code from PHP and named it JSP (Behind the scenes the JSP=HTML + embedded Java is compiled to a Servlet).
- The following step was to factor out (a lot of) code that was use very often. Now, controllers, actions etc were born.
I've found the documentation section at the Struts website quite informative.
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/index.html
You can learn a bit of JSP at
http://www.jsptut.com.
But today, i would expect most companies to use JSF instead...
