Welcome! This repository is a showcase of my hands-on projects while learning Java Web Development using key technologies like Servlets, JSP, Spring, Spring Boot, and Hibernate. The projects are designed to demonstrate my understanding of backend systems and real-world applications.
- Mastered Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC) in Spring, making code more modular and testable.
- Configured Spring beans using XML and Java-based configuration.
- Developed applications using Spring MVC with @Controller, @RequestMapping, and model-view separation.
- Implemented Spring JDBC for database connectivity, simplifying database access and management.
- Created modular applications by leveraging Spring’s dependency injection to wire components efficiently.
- Built Spring Boot applications with minimal configuration using
@SpringBootApplication. - Developed RESTful APIs using @RestController and exposed JSON responses.
- Leveraged Spring Boot’s auto-configuration to simplify setup and integration.
- Integrated Spring Data JPA to easily interact with relational databases and perform CRUD operations.
- Used Maven for project management, dependency handling, and building runnable JARs for deployment.
- Learned to map Java classes to database tables using annotations (
@Entity,@Table,@Id). - Configured Hibernate’s SessionFactory and Session for managing database operations.
- Performed CRUD operations using Hibernate APIs, including HQL (Hibernate Query Language) and Criteria API.
- Gained hands-on experience in transaction management and lazy vs eager loading strategies.
- Integrated Hibernate with Spring Boot to streamline ORM and database management in a Spring context.
- Learned the Servlet lifecycle (init, doGet, doPost, destroy) to handle HTTP requests and responses effectively.
- Gained practical experience with request/response handling using
HttpServletRequestandHttpServletResponse. - Mastered session management using HTTP cookies and session tracking.
- Implemented request forwarding and redirection (e.g., login and error handling).
- Built applications following the MVC pattern with servlets acting as controllers.
- Integrated JDBC with servlets to manage data, validate user input, and retrieve information from a database.
- Developed dynamic web pages using JSP and Java Expression Language (EL) to display content.
- Used JSTL (JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library) for efficient iteration, conditionals, and formatting.
- Implemented form handling in JSP for user interaction (e.g., login, registration forms).
- Built the view layer in the MVC architecture while delegating business logic to servlets.
- In-depth understanding of Java EE concepts, including Servlets and JSP for web development.
- Strong expertise in Spring and Spring Boot, focused on Dependency Injection, Spring MVC, and RESTful API development.
- Hands-on experience with Hibernate ORM, JPA, and database integration.
- Proficient in Maven for building, managing dependencies, and running projects.
- Solid understanding of best practices like MVC architecture, DAO pattern, and unit testing in Java.
