Mini Project
We're aiming to build a simple online tech store using HTML and Java Servlets. This will involve
creating five dynamic web pages:
4. Shopping Cart: Allows users to add and remove items from their cart.
Technology Stack
Project Structure
1. Web Pages:
o index.html (Homepage)
o product_catalog.jsp
o product_details.jsp
o shopping_cart.jsp
o checkout.jsp
2. Java Servlets:
o ProductCatalogServlet
o ProductDetailsServlet
o ShoppingCartServlet
o CheckoutServlet
3. Database:
o A database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) to store product information, user details, and
order history.
Implementation Steps
o Use HTML forms to collect user input (e.g., product search, quantity, shipping
address).
o Display the items in the cart, total price, and shipping information.
o Consider using a payment gateway for secure online payments (optional for this
basic project).
Java
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
pstmt.setString(1, category);
rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (rs != null) {
rs.close();
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
if (conn != null) {
conn.close();3
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();4
Additional Considerations
Security: Implement security measures to protect user data, such as input validation and
encryption.
Error Handling: Handle exceptions gracefully to provide informative error messages to the
user.
User Experience: Design the website with a user-friendly interface and intuitive navigation.
Scalability: Consider using a scalable database and server infrastructure for future growth.
By following these steps and incorporating best practices, you can create a robust and functional
online tech store.
