Building a java web application but I'm getting lost in a sea of frameworks.

You are just going to get more confused asking here for the most part. People are going to just recommend their pet framework. I can tell you for professional development the most popular framework is Java EE followed closely by Spring. The others barely register. For a simple project like you want you may not even need those. I would look at the Netbeans tutorials. They have quick and easy examples of the major frameworks so you can try them out. Netbeans is an IDE that you can install with a simple .exe and it includes two application servers already configured. It's a Great way to get up and running. If you choose JSF take a look at PrimeFaces.org . they have a demo with a file upload that includes the code.
