I’m a beginner coding a Java web application. I used to code Ruby On Rails.
Can you recommend a standard, cool environment for Java web application coding? Is Java+Tomcat+Struts+Eclipse standard?

I would say your choices of Java (duh), Eclipse (Netbeans is also a viable option for IDE) and Tomcat are pretty non-controversial.
Struts was a good framework for MVC web applications, but I think it may be a bit dated these days – Spring seems to be the primary heir apparent in that category. However, if you’re jumping onto a whole new language and platform I would suggest leaving an MVC framework out of the mix at first and just coding basic servlets or JSPs by hand. Once you have those basic technologies down, then you can get into fancier frameworks.
