I’m afraid there’s no substitute for lots of reading :)
If I were you, I’d start with David LeBer’s screen casts WebObjects, WOLips and Wonder tutorial, part 1 and 2 found here
https://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WEB/Screencasts
That will give you a gentle introduction to WebObjects. There’s quite a lot of documentation to read
https://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WEB/JavaDoc+and+other+documentation
Unlike other Java solutions, WebObjects is a full stack solution. Whereas something like Apache Tapestry only tries to solve html generation issues or Apache Cayenne only tries to handle database issues or Jetty is just a deployment container, WebObjects is all of that and then some.
Everyone goes through this. It’s called “The learning cliff” because it’s much steeper than a typical learning curve. If you don’t familiarize yourself with what is available, then you’ll no doubt end up trying to reinvent something that already exists in WebObjects. That you even got my application template running with no other knowledge of WebObjects is pretty amazing to me. When I started, it took me nearly a month just to get Eclipse/WOLips/WebObjects/Wonder all installed and working properly.
I’ll copy the list on this reply. I know several people who follow it who will probably have other good advice/recommended reading for someone just getting started.
