In this book we are developing a multi-tiered object-oriented Java web system using Spring and Hibernate. Instead of real life business requirements, we consider examples of all the relationships of data modeling. With each lesson, we develop the user interface along with the presentation tier in a nimble manner. We also develop the business service tier, the data access tier and the resource (entity) tier with the test driven development agile approach. The chapters contain detailed explanations and code fragments sufficient to get you familiarized with the development techniques. The Appendix section has the link to the entire source code should you require reference to it. I appeal to the reader to go hands on and develop the entire code shown in the book which may aid in improving core concepts of relational database driven web application development.
What you will learn:
- REST Architecture with support for mobile applications
- All the relationships of data modeling
- Development of user interface with JSP, JQuery, AJAX and JSON
- Development of mock in-memory database
- Design, develop and unit test the presentation tier
- Design, develop and unit test the business tier
- Design, develop and unit test the data access tier
- Design, develop and unit test the resource (entity) tier
- Popular patterns and best practices in designing a complete Spring and Hibernate based relational database driven Java web application
