1. Introduction

This document is based on:
  • Eclipse 4.5 MARS
  • Tomcat 8.x
In this document, I will guide step by step how to create a simple web application with the combiantion of Servlet +JSP + Filter + JSP EL + JDBC. Make sure that you've mastered Servlet, JSP and Filter and JDBC before the start. If not, you can refer to:
NOTE: In this post I only introduce about CRUD, "Login" and "Remember Me" function. And do not handle the security of the pages. If you want to have an application, secure each page, please refer to the article below:

2. The principle when programming Servlet + JSP

These are the principles that you should keep in mind to be able to build a Web application using Servlet + JSP satisfying criteria: code is simple, easy to understand and easy to maintain.
The principles:
  • Never allow users to directly access to your JSP page.
  • JSP is only considered as the place to display interface.
  • Servlet acts as the controller of the application flows and program logical processing.
  • Open the JDBC connection and transaction management in Filter (Optional).
According to the principle 1:
Never allow users to directly access to your JSP page, it means that all user's requests are:
  • Another source of static data (images, css, js, ...)
  • Or a servlet.
Therefore, you must hide your JSP files in a place where the user can not access. For instance, set it in the WEB-INF folder or its subdirectories. In this example, I hide the jsp files in the WEB-INF/views.
When the user requests to a Servlet, it will dispose user's requirements, such insert, update and query the data, eventually forward to the JSP page to display the data. Thus, each servlet has 0 or multiple corresponding JSP pages (Usually only need 1).
Principle 2:
JSP is only considered as the place to display data, which means that you should not handle the application logic on the JSP, such as update, insert, delete, .., and not navigate on the JSP page.

3. View Demo of Web Application will do

You can preview Demo Web application will do:

4. Prepare database

In this document, I instruct you to work with one of 3 databases: Oracle, MySQL or SQL Server. You need to run scripts to create some tables and necessary data for this example.
ORACLE:
-- Create table
create table USER_ACCOUNT
(
USER_NAME VARCHAR2(30) not null,
GENDER    VARCHAR2(1) not null,
PASSWORD  VARCHAR2(30) not null,
primary key (USER_NAME)
);

-- Create table
create table PRODUCT
(
CODE  VARCHAR2(20) not null,
NAME  VARCHAR2(128) not null,
PRICE FLOAT not null,
primary key (CODE)
) ;

-- Insert data: ---------------------------------------------------------------

insert into user_account (USER_NAME, GENDER, PASSWORD)
values ('tom', 'M', 'tom001');

insert into user_account (USER_NAME, GENDER, PASSWORD)
values ('jerry', 'M', 'jerry001');

insert into product (CODE, NAME, PRICE)
values ('P001', 'Java Core', 100);

insert into product (CODE, NAME, PRICE)
values ('P002', 'C# Core', 90);

-- Commit
Commit;
MYSQL:
-- Create table
create table USER_ACCOUNT
(
USER_NAME VARCHAR(30) not null,
GENDER    VARCHAR(1) not null,
PASSWORD  VARCHAR(30) not null,
primary key (USER_NAME)
);

-- Create table
create table PRODUCT
(
CODE  VARCHAR(20) not null,
NAME  VARCHAR(128) not null,
PRICE FLOAT not null,
primary key (CODE)
) ;

-- Insert data: ---------------------------------------------------------------

insert into user_account (USER_NAME, GENDER, PASSWORD)
values ('tom', 'M', 'tom001');

insert into user_account (USER_NAME, GENDER, PASSWORD)
values ('jerry', 'M', 'jerry001');

insert into product (CODE, NAME, PRICE)
values ('P001', 'Java Core', 100);

insert into product (CODE, NAME, PRICE)
values ('P002', 'C# Core', 90);
SQL SERVER:
-- Create table
create table USER_ACCOUNT
(
USER_NAME VARCHAR(30) not null,
GENDER    VARCHAR(1) not null,
PASSWORD  VARCHAR(30) not null,
primary key (USER_NAME)
);

-- Create table
create table PRODUCT
(
CODE  VARCHAR(20) not null,
NAME  VARCHAR(128) not null,
PRICE FLOAT not null,
primary key (CODE)
) ;

-- Insert data: ---------------------------------------------------------------

insert into user_account (USER_NAME, GENDER, PASSWORD)
values ('tom', 'M', 'tom001');

insert into user_account (USER_NAME, GENDER, PASSWORD)
values ('jerry', 'M', 'jerry001');

insert into product (CODE, NAME, PRICE)
values ('P001', 'Java Core', 100);

insert into product (CODE, NAME, PRICE)
values ('P002', 'C# Core', 90);

5. Create WebApp Project

In Eclipse select:
  • File/New/Other...
Project was created.
Add index.html
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
     <title>Simple Web Application</title>
  </head>
 
  <body>
 
     <h2>Simple Login Web Application using JSP/Servlet</h2>
     
     <ul>
        <li><a href="home">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="login">Login</a></li>
        <li><a href="productList">Product  List</a>
     </ul>
     
  </body>
</html>

6. Configuring the runtime environment

The application needs to run on a WebServer, such as Tomcat Server, you can refer to download and declaration instructions of Server Tomcat in Eclipse at:
Right-click the SimpleWebApp select Properties.

7. Run application for first time

Right-click on SimpleWebApp, select:
  • Run As/Run on Server
Application has been run:
OK, here everything is fine. We'll start programming a real Web application.

8. Download and declare JDBC library

You have to download JDBC library to driving the connection with the Database. In this document, I download both of 3 JDBC libraries for Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, in practice, you only need JDBC library corresponding to the type of database you are using.
You can see download instruction of JDBC driver at:
Or download here:
Results downloaded:
Copy these libraries into the WEB-INF/lib:

9. Download and declare JSTL library

You need to download 2 JSTL libraries to be able to use them in the JSP:
  • javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-*.jar
  • javax.servlet.jsp.jslt-api-*.jar
Copy 2 jar files that you just downloaded into the /WEB-INF/lib:

10. Javabean classes simulated tables in the database

Create 2 JavaBean classes, wherein each class simulated a table in the database:
UserAccount.java
package org.o7planning.simplewebapp.beans;

public class UserAccount {

   public static final String GENDER_MALE ="M";
   public static final String GENDER_FEMALE = "F";
   
   private String userName;
   private String gender;
   private String password;
   

   public UserAccount() {
       
   }
   
   public String getUserName() {
       return userName;
   }

   public void setUserName(String userName) {
       this.userName = userName;
   }

   public String getGender() {
       return gender;
   }

   public void setGender(String gender) {
       this.gender = gender;
   }

   public String getPassword() {
       return password;
   }

   public void setPassword(String password) {
       this.password = password;
   }

}
Product.java
package org.o7planning.simplewebapp.beans;

public class Product {

   private String code;
   private String name;
   private float price;

   public Product() {

   }

   public Product(String code, String name, float price) {
       this.code = code;
       this.name = name;
       this.price = price;
   }

   public String getCode() {
       return code;
   }

   public void setCode(String code) {
       this.code = code;
   }

   public String getName() {
       return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
       this.name = name;
   }

   public float getPrice() {
       return price;
   }

   public void setPrice(float price) {
       this.price = price;
   }

}

12. The utility class & manipulate data

MyUtils.java
package org.o7planning.simplewebapp.utils;

import java.sql.Connection;

import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.Cookie;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

	// Store Connection in request attribute.
	// (Information stored only exist during requests)
	public static void storeConnection(ServletRequest request, Connection conn) {

	}

	public static String getUserNameInCookie(HttpServletRequest request) {

13. Create Servlet Filter connect to Database

In JDBCFilter, I checked which requests actually referred to a Servlet, so that you can see the picture below to find it easy to understand, it describes the relationship between the concepts of Servlet.
JDBCFilter with url-pattern = /* means that all requests of users have go through this filter.
JDBCFilter will check the request to ensure that it only opens JDBC connection for the necessary request, eg for Servlet, avoid opening JDBC connection to common requests like image, css, js, html
JDBCFilter.java
package org.o7planning.simplewebapp.filter;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRegistration;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebFilter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.o7planning.simplewebapp.conn.ConnectionUtils;
import org.o7planning.simplewebapp.utils.MyUtils;

@WebFilter(filterName = "jdbcFilter", urlPatterns = { "/*" })
public class JDBCFilter implements Filter {

	public JDBCFilter() {
	}

	@Override
	public void init(FilterConfig fConfig) throws ServletException {

	}

	@Override
	public void destroy() {

	}

	// Check the target of the request is a servlet?
	private boolean needJDBC(HttpServletRequest request) {
		System.out.println("JDBC Filter");
		// 
		// Servlet Url-pattern: /spath/*
		// 
		// => /spath
		String servletPath = request.getServletPath();
		// => /abc/mnp
		String pathInfo = request.getPathInfo();

		String urlPattern = servletPath;

		if (pathInfo != null) {
			// => /spath/*
			urlPattern = servletPath + "/*";
		}

		// Key: servletName.
		// Value: ServletRegistration
		Map<String, ? extends ServletRegistration> servletRegistrations = request.getServletContext()
				.getServletRegistrations();

		// Collection of all servlet in your Webapp.
		Collection<? extends ServletRegistration> values = servletRegistrations.values();
		for (ServletRegistration sr : values) {
			Collection<String> mappings = sr.getMappings();
			if (mappings.contains(urlPattern)) {
				return true;
			}
		}
		return false;
	}

	@Override
	public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
			throws IOException, ServletException {

		HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;

		// Only open connections for the special requests.
		// (For example, the path to the servlet, JSP, ..)
		// 
		// Avoid open connection for commons request.
		// (For example: image, css, javascript,... )
		// 
		if (this.needJDBC(req)) {

			System.out.println("Open Connection for: " + req.getServletPath());

			Connection conn = null;
			try {
				// Create a Connection.
				conn = ConnectionUtils.getConnection();
				// Set outo commit to false.
				conn.setAutoCommit(false);

				// Store Connection object in attribute of request.
				MyUtils.storeConnection(request, conn);

				// Allow request to go forward
				// (Go to the next filter or target)
				chain.doFilter(request, response);

				// Invoke the commit() method to complete the transaction with the DB.
				conn.commit();
			} catch (Exception e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
				ConnectionUtils.rollbackQuietly(conn);
				throw new ServletException();
			} finally {
				ConnectionUtils.closeQuietly(conn);
			}
		}
		// With commons requests (images, css, html, ..)
		// No need to open the connection.
		else {
			// Allow request to go forward
			// (Go to the next filter or target)
			chain.doFilter(request, response);
		}

	}

}

14. Servlet Filter reads Cookies to automatically login

In case, the user logined and remembered information in previous access (for example the day before). And now the user return, this Filter will check the Cookie information stored by the browser and automatic Login.
CookieFilter.java

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebFilter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import org.o7planning.simplewebapp.beans.UserAccount;
import org.o7planning.simplewebapp.utils.DBUtils;
import org.o7planning.simplewebapp.utils.MyUtils;

@WebFilter(filterName = "cookieFilter", urlPatterns = { "/*" })
public class CookieFilter implements Filter {

	public CookieFilter() {
	}

	@Override
	public void init(FilterConfig fConfig) throws ServletException {

	}

	@Override
	public void destroy() {

	}

	@Override
	public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
			throws IOException, ServletException {
		HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
		HttpSession session = req.getSession();

		UserAccount userInSession = MyUtils.getLoginedUser(session);
		// 
		if (userInSession != null) {
			session.setAttribute("COOKIE_CHECKED", "CHECKED");
			chain.doFilter(request, response);
			return;
		}

		// Connection was created in JDBCFilter.
		Connection conn = MyUtils.getStoredConnection(request);

		// Flag check cookie
		String checked = (String) session.getAttribute("COOKIE_CHECKED");
		if (checked == null && conn != null) {

NOTE:
JDBCFilter & CookieFilter have the same url-pattern =/*, you must be configured to ensure that JDBCFilter isexecuted first. Therefore, you need to declare the order in web.xml (There is no way to declare the order by Annotation).

16. Pages reuse

Some JSP pages will be used to embed into other JSP page at Runtime, through the use of:
<jsp:include page="_header.jsp"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="_menu.jsp"></jsp:include>

<jsp:include page="_footer.jsp"></jsp:include>
/WEB-INF/views/_header.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
  pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<div style="background: #E0E0E0; height: 55px; padding: 5px;">
  <div style="float: left">
     <h1>My Site</h1>
  </div>

  <div style="float: right; padding: 10px; text-align: right;">

     <!-- User store in session with attribute: loginedUser -->
     Hello <b>${loginedUser.userName}</b>
   <br/>
     Search <input name="search">

  </div>

</div>
/WEB-INF/views/_menu.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
   pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
   
<div style="padding: 5px;">

   <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/">Home</a>
   |
   <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/productList">Product List</a>
   |
   <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/userInfo">My Account Info</a>
   |
   <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/login">Login</a>
   
</div>
/WEB-INF/views/_footer.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
  pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
 
<div
  style="background: #E0E0E0; text-align: center; padding: 5px; margin-top: 10px;">

</div>

17. Home Page

When entering the default path, eg enter the site's domain name it will display the home page (Case contextPath = ""), you need to declare your home page in <welcome-file-list> of web.xml
Link below is showing the content of the page index.html
You need to design a home page as a JSP page to display dynamic information instead of a html page that contains static information.
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
                       http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
     id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
 <display-name>SimpleWebApp</display-name>


   <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>jdbcFilter</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
   
   <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>cookieFilter</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>

 <welcome-file-list>

   <welcome-file>home</welcome-file>
   
   <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
