Tutorial on how to set up a very simple J2EE web application from scratch?
I was wondering where I can find a web tutorial or book to show me how to set up a Java web App J2EE from scratch? Which starts from showing you what you need to install and how, To getting a server up and a Hello world on the browser?

I would rather not to use a framework such as spring or grails because I want to understand how it actually works at a Java level. 

I have been using RoR for the last 2 years and I got a job as a trainee Java developer and would just like to get a better idea of how everything works, the architecture etc. 

Many thanks.
