My First Website using JAVA J2EE & Javascript

I have made a website using jsp & servlets.This was built by me only for educational purpose i.e Learning By Doing process.




Features include :

1. JavaScript for Client Side Validations.

• This makes filling long & tedious looking forms to be filled in seconds.As you can see in the video below, using JavaScripts has made Registration & Login page page more User-friendly
• I have used it to catch some events such as onblur, onfocus etc thrown by the form elements.

2. Ajax

• Ajax makes everything so easy for the client/visitor.It communicates with the server in the background makes available all the data required either from a file or database and makes it available to the user.This all happens without refreshing or loading the page!!!

3. Jsp & Servlets

• This is the backbone of whole project.These are the server pages which listen to the request from the client(actually web-browser) and accordingly is generating a response
• For example - when the user clicks submit on Login page.It is the server page JSP that communicates to the database using an underlying bean ( a java class file).If the user is found then a session is created & attributes are set.Finally user is again moved to the main page.

4. CSS or style tag

• These are used extensively to apply a desired design format on the entire JSP page.

• Best part - In order to change the style/appearance of elements in a page you have two options - i) You would have to place standard html tags in each of the required places throughout the page OR ii)The better way is to set the style for the element types in one place which would effect the whole page.Futher one can have external css which makes the style format once set to be used in many pages.

5. File data Handling

• For Post file data handling has been done which can be used to post data on the website.

6. Jsp & Html

• This was the Best feature incorporated by SUN professionals which makes java web development extremely simple.
• Feature is - you can mix up HTML & JAVA Scriptlets any number of times without hesitation.
• The data you see on the home page which i call posts are actually dynamically read from the disk and presented to you in the form of a table (with border = 0)

7. Flash

• I may not be a pro in using Macromedia flash.But i managed to make the text effects you see in the banner on the top.I have embedded these swf(s) in my blog too.They look COOL!!! Isn't it

8. Session Handling

• It is very important to keep track information about the visitor/user visiting your blog.
• For example - I don't wan't a person to be able to post data to my website unless and until he has registered himself to my website and has Loggined into the website.This is integral for admin management of the website.
• can be done by session handling,cookies,url rewriting,hidden text field.I have used first two i.e Session creation & writing cookies to the client.
