Web development with Java has been a cornerstone of modern software engineering, powering everything from small-scale applications to enterprise-grade systems. In this blog, we’ll dive into some essential topics in Java for web development, including Servlets, JSP, the Spring Framework, and RESTful Web Services with Spring Boot.
Introduction to Web Development with Java
Java is a versatile and robust programming language that has been widely adopted for web development due to its platform independence, scalability, and comprehensive ecosystem. Java-based web applications typically involve the use of:
- Java EE (Jakarta EE): A collection of APIs for building enterprise-level web applications.
- Frameworks like Spring and Hibernate: To simplify development and enhance productivity.
- Build Tools: Such as Maven and Gradle, to manage dependencies and automate builds.
Java applications are often built using the three-tier architecture:
- Presentation Tier: The user interface (UI), typically developed using JSP, HTML, or modern frameworks like Angular.
- Business Logic Tier: Handled by Java servlets or frameworks like Spring.
- Data Tier: Managed with databases, accessed…
