Bookstore

An e-commerce book store application written purely in JSP and Servlet using MVC model.

I wrote this a while ago when I was getting my hands dirty with JSP and Servlets. This is great for college/university project. Don't use this for an actual website.

https://bookhive.herokuapp.com <- Live demo

Dependencies

Servlet, JSP, JSTL and EL APIs
PostgreSQL JDBC Driver
Jasypt - Encryption library I use to encrypt passwords.

Features

View books with category hierarchy
Account creation and login (With validation and all)
Book details page
Review system
Cart (Add, edit and delete items)
Sorting of results (Bestsellers, Price (low), Price (High), Newest first)
Search
Authorization
Pagination

There are copule of things you need to know if you're gonna use this.

This uses PostgreSQL for database management.
Create database and create tables using the schema provided.
In Constants.java enter your database details for JDBC connection.

After these steps you should be able to start your application. You will see nothing much though as there is no data yet.

Data

I scraped data from http://amazon.in for this project. I scraped book details, summary, user reviews and categories of some 1000ish books. I don't think I can upload it here. However, you can use this scrapper I wrote.

Image covers

The script I mentioned above stores image covers in particular filename format. Which is ISBN-n where n is nth number of image for that ISBN. So if there are two images for one book image file names will be *ISBNid*-1 and *ISBNid*-2.

You will have to store all images in static/images/covers folder.

User profile image

Uploading of profile image is not implemented yet but the system tries to get image /static/images/users/userid.jpeg in cart.jsp. This process can be made secure by encrypting the id with application's secret key. Which you will have to define in Constants.java

TODO

ORM! Hibernate it.
Use a JSP front-end framework like JSF
User groups
Admin panel
Order creation (Half assed)
