Building Project to understand MySQL and Java


Things to Keep in mind :

1. Understanding MySQL Basics

Learn SQL commands: SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , JOIN , GROUP BY ,


ORDER BY , etc.
Understand data types ( INT , VARCHAR , TEXT , DATE , etc.) and when to
use them.
Use Primary Keys and Foreign Keys to maintain data integrity.
Indexing ( INDEX , UNIQUE , FULLTEXT ) to improve query performance.

2. JDBC Fundamentals

Learn how to:


Establish a connection using DriverManager.getConnection()
Execute SQL queries using Statement and PreparedStatement
Handle ResultSet to fetch and process data
Use CallableStatement for stored procedures
Always close database connections to avoid memory leaks.
Use PreparedStatement instead of Statement to prevent SQL Injection.

JSP VIVA CHEAT SHEET

1️⃣ Introduction to JSP


JSP (JavaServer Pages) is used to create dynamic web pages.
It is a server-side technology that combines Java & HTML.
JSP is converted into a Servlet by the web container.
2️⃣ JSP Life Cycle
1. Translation Phase → JSP file is converted into a Servlet.
2. Compilation Phase → Servlet is compiled into a class file.
3. Initialization Phase → jspInit() method is executed.
4. Execution Phase → jspService() handles client requests.
5. Destruction Phase → jspDestroy() is called before JSP is removed from
memory.

3️⃣ JSP vs Servlet

Feature JSP Servlet


Code Structure Mix of Java & HTML Pure Java Code
Ease of Use Easier Harder
Performance Slightly Slower Faster
UI Handling Better for UI Not ideal for UI

4️⃣ JSP Directives


Used to provide global settings for JSP pages.

1. Page Directive: <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" %>


2. Include Directive: <%@ include file="header.jsp" %>
3. Taglib Directive: <%@ taglib uri="tagLibrary" prefix="tag" %>

5️⃣ JSP Scripting Elements


Scriptlet ( <% %> ) → Java code inside HTML.

<% int a = 10; out.println("Value: " + a); %>

Expression ( <%= %> ) → Outputs Java values.

<h1>Current Time: <%= new java.util.Date() %></h1>

Declaration ( <%! %> ) → Declares methods/variables.


<%! int square(int x) { return x * x; } %>

6️⃣ Implicit Objects in JSP


request → request.getParameter("name"); (Gets form data)
response → Sends response back to client.
session → Stores user session data.
application → Stores data available to all users.
out → Prints output on the page.
exception → Handles exceptions in error pages.

7️⃣ JSP Form Handling


<form action="process.jsp" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="username">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<!-- process.jsp -->


<%
String name = request.getParameter("username");
out.println("Welcome, " + name);
%>

8️⃣ JSP Exception Handling


<%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>
<h2>Error: <%= exception.getMessage() %></h2>

9️⃣ JSP Sessions


<%
session.setAttribute("user", "John");
String user = (String) session.getAttribute("user");
%>
<h2>Welcome, <%= user %></h2>

What is a Servlet?

A Servlet is a Java program that runs on a web server and handles HTTP
requests & responses. It is used for dynamic web content generation.

📝 Steps in Servlet Processing


1. Client (Browser) makes a request
2. Web Server forwards the request to the Servlet
3. Servlet processes the request (interacts with DB, logic, etc.)
4. Servlet sends a response back to the client (HTML, JSON, etc.)

💡 Servlet Lifecycle
1️⃣init() → Initializes the servlet (called once)
2️⃣service() → Handles requests (called multiple times)
3️⃣destroy() → Cleanup before shutting down
