Explore how Java connects to relational databases using JDBC, including the JDBC architecture, driver managers, and type 1 to 4 drivers, to enable database access from Java applications.
Learn to establish a jdbc connection to MySQL using the driver manager, including configuring the MySQL community server, connectors, and a reusable properties-based connection utility.
Learn to use JDBC to interact with a database via a statement. Execute update for DML operations like insert, delete, update; execute query for select; grasp dynamic SQL.
Learn to execute select queries in Java, compare wildcard versus explicit column selection, and use ResultSet metadata to navigate and retrieve data row by row with null handling.
Explore prepared statements to prevent SQL injection, understand execution plans and parsing, and boost performance by reusing the same plan with placeholders and parameter binding.
Understand stored procedures and callable statements in Java web development, including parameter modes (in, out, in out) and invoking them with prepareCall to handle results.
Learn batch execution by adding statements to a batch, executing it, and reading update counts and possible batch update exceptions. Retrieve auto increment values with generated keys after inserts.
Learn to store, retrieve, and manage binary data with blob columns in a database using JDBC, including creating tables and inserting or retrieving blob data via prepared statements.
Learn how JDBC handles transactions to guarantee atomicity and consistency, using auto-commit off, commit and rollback, with chained transactions that ensure reliable, all-or-nothing updates.
Explore how CGI generates dynamic web content via per-request processes and environment variables, and why Java servlets offer a platform-independent in-process alternative for scalable web applications.
This course is designed for learners who want to gain a strong and practical understanding of Advanced Java Web Application Development. It covers both database programming using JDBC and web application development using Servlets and JSP, making it ideal for developers aiming to build dynamic, data‑driven Java web applications.
The course begins with a detailed introduction to JDBC, where you will learn how to establish database connections, execute DML commands, run SQL queries, and work with Prepared Statements. You will also explore advanced JDBC topics such as stored procedures and callable statements, batch execution, auto‑increment columns, handling binary data using BLOBs, and transaction management to ensure data consistency.
After covering database fundamentals, the course moves into Java web programming concepts. You will learn the basics of web programming, including CGI concepts, followed by an in‑depth introduction to Servlets. Topics such as the HTTP protocol, Servlet API, request handling, form submission, and servlet programming are explained step by step.
The course then focuses on JSP (JavaServer Pages), where you will build web applications using JSP, understand form processing, and work with forward and include actions. State management techniques such as HTTP sessions, cookies, and redirection are covered in detail.
Advanced JSP concepts including JavaBeans, Expression Language (EL), JSTL, custom tags, and filters are also explained, helping you build clean, maintainable, and scalable Java web applications.
Practice tests are included to reinforce learning and validate your understanding of advanced Java web development concepts.
