MVC architecture with servlets and jspby Prasad Kharkar August 11, 2013 111 Comments

Prasad harkar

Prasad Kharkar is a java enthusiast and always keen to explore and learn java technologies.

He is SCJP,OCPWCD, OCEJPAD and aspires to be java architect.

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to create a simple MVC application using servlets and jsp.

MVC i.e. Model-View-Controller is a pattern helpful separation of concerns.

Model represents a POJO object that carries data.

View is the layer in which the data is presented in visual format.

Controlleris the component which is responsible for communication between model and view.

A user always se es t he view an d co mmunicates with th e con troller. We will understan d t his usin g a sample loginapplication which will display a welcome username message and if the login fails, it will redirect to an error page.

Here is what we are going to create.

login.jsp :- this will input username and password

success.jsp :- If login is successful, then this page is displayed

error.jsp :- If login is not successful then this page is displayed.

LoginController.java :- This is controller part of the application which communicates with model

Authenticator .java :- Has bu siness lo gic fo r a uthentication

User.java :- Stores username and password for the user.

Requirements:

Eclipse IDE

Apache tomcat serverJSTL jar

Create a new Dynamic web project in eclipse by clicking File -> New -> Dynamic Web Project. Fill

the details i.e. project name, the server. Enter your project name as MVCDemo. You will get the

following directory structure for the project.

Initial Project Structure

Create success.jsp, error.jsp and login.jsp and LoginController servlet, Authenticator class, User

class in the packages as shown in the images. Put the jstl.jar in WEB-INF/lib folder.

Let us understand what happens under the hood with the help of diagram.

1. First, user visits login.jsp page and fills out data and submits form.

2. This causes to be invoked because of

3. In , following code causes the model to be invoked and set the properties.

and .

4. causes the servlet to forward to jsp page.

success.jsp page displays the username with expression language

Notable advantages of mvc pattern are:

This separate presentation layer from business layer.

The controller performs action of invoking the model and sending data to view.

Model is not even aware that it is used by some web application or desktop application. Authenticator

class can be used by desktop applications also. Thus separation helps in re-usability.

Hope this helps in understanding how to create MVC application using servlets and jsp.

Hi , Thank you very much for the information.In the above Example in the Authenticatclass we have password and username .How to authenticate if they are stored in database in

the above example.Thank you very much.

Prasad KharkarMay 15, 2015 at 9:59 am

At beg inner level, you can either create database connection from web application

and read username and password from servlet and then check for equality. Or you can

go for a better way of using Java Authentication and Authorization Service which can be

used with tomcat, jboss or wildfly. Please follow these links

I would recommend you to take up a sample project and implement it using MVC

architecture so that you will get to know the difficulties faced during development. For example,

create a simple user registration form in which fields are entered on a JSP, access them in a

servlet and again display the list of all registered users on a separate JSP page. Use MVCarchitecture in it.

i have started learning jsp and servletand at the same time doing project in both the technologies

So will you kindly tell me what would be the best start for me and what are the main topics in both

which will help me in making project..

Hi Nishad, now that you have learned MVC architecture well, learn about servlets, listeners

and other web components. I would recommend you to use JSF if it is possible as it is event

based framework.

Right now if you dont have idea about jsf, its good to start with servlets and JSP

itself. JSF part can be done later once youve understood servlets and jsp


okthanks sir.


Happy learning

Hi,

sir i am getting a bit confused regarding jsp like it eventually change into servlet

then what is the need of taking jsp..if i want to make a design form for user entry

like name,sex address in jsp and more on that using jsp only so can i make it or

not..

plzz explain


and if i want to run an applet code in eclipse then is it possible to run or

not.

if i make a ui form using applet then it would be a good idea..????

how to connect db for update profile and i have 2 questions 1) am using NetBeans IDEso any

difference between eclipse am i hv to do any modification from ur tutorial?

2) how to get photo as a input for update profile page ThanQ in advance

Reply

Prasad KharkarJune 6, 2014 at 10:36 am

1. Though you are using netbeans, it may have a different directory structure, so instead of

webcontent directory, it can have other one. The rules for a web application do not change. You

just n eed to create a dynamic web project in ne tbeans and follow t he process given in th is tut orial

2. You will have to use file upload functionality for uploading photo and while displaying, I

recommend you simply store the uploaded photo on hard drive and put the location of photo in

database. While displaying photo for profile, you can pick photo location from database and

display on web page.

I will certainly write more tutorials as per your suggestion Thank you for reading a positive

feedback. Happy learning.

Welcome ${requestScope[user].username}

should be

because your attribute is private and you have a getter for it

Hi,

Can you tell me if we want to print table in our jsp page and table value come from database and we

use mvc architecture then it is correct to get all values in jsp page by directly write query in that jsp

page or use servlet to get all values?

Reply


Hi Ashish, jsps are meant for displaying purpose only. a JSP developer need not have

knowledge of sql queries. Writing sql or java code in jsp would break the mvc pattern. It is not

advisable to write logic in jsp. You should use servlet or further layers to call values fromdatabase.

Within the aformentioned application I want to implement Server Side validation, where would you put

the said block of code, in the Model or the Controller class?

Using your above example, lets assume that you wanted to ensure that the user entered both a

password and username, would you put the validaiton block in the LoginController class or the

Authenticator class?

Secondly, what is the best way to implement User Privilleges and Permissions in JAVA using the MVC

Design pattern? Do I implement an Intercepting filter and place the logic there or do I distrubute the

logic between the view and model?

Any ad vice would be greatly appreciate d. Thank you much in ad vance.

Kind Regards,

Hakeem

Hi Hakeem, I am glad you found it useful. To be honest there is no IDEAL way of doing

things. This tutorial only explains how mvc architecture can be done using servlets and JSP. For

authentication and authorization, I believe you should use Java Authentication and Authorization

Service. You can find some tutorials on my blog itself. I am sure they will help.
