management system (project #13) using Mockito. Create mock objects for
database interactions and test methods for adding, updating, and deleting
books. (Libraries: Mockito)

16. Building a Web Application with JSP: (Continued)

o Sample Project: This web application can utilize a database to store product
information (name, description, price) and user sessions (cart contents).
Implement JSP pages for displaying product listings, individual product
details, and a shopping cart summary. (Libraries: JSP)
17. Exception Handling (Advanced):
 o Sample Project: Enhance the online store application (project #16) to handle
exceptions gracefully. Implement custom exception classes for specific errors
(e.g., product not found, invalid quantity) and provide informative error
messages to the user. (Libraries: not required)
18. Building a Web Application with Spring Security:
o Sample Project: Secure the online store application (project #16) by
integrating Spring Security. Implement user registration, login functionality,
and role-based access control (e.g., only registered users can add items to the
cart). (Libraries: Spring Security)
19. Working with Java Concurrency:
o Sample Project: Develop a background process for the online store
application (project #18) that periodically checks for abandoned shopping
carts and sends reminder emails to users who haven't completed their
purchase. Utilize a thread pool to manage concurrent tasks efficiently.
(Libraries: java.util.concurrent.*)
20. Building a Microservices Architecture:
