CASE STUDY

1 A university's computer science department wants to develop an Online Bookstore Management

System to facilitate the ordering and management of books for students and faculty. The
university already has a database containing information about books, authors, and publishers.
Your task is to design a JDBC-based system to interact with the database and implement the
necessary functionalities for the Online Bookstore Management System.​

2 A university has decided to implement an Online Learning Management System to enhance its
educational offerings. The system aims to provide a platform for instructors to create and
manage online courses, students to enroll and participate in these courses, and administrators to
oversee the entire learning process.

PRACTICALS
Sr. No. List Of Practicals
Understand multithreading and thread:
1
2.​ Demonstrate how to create and run multiple threads concurrently.
3.​ Compare the creation and execution of threads and processes.
4.​ Demonstrate the benefits of using multiple threads to improve performance and
efficiency in an application.

12
 5.​ Demonstrate the different states in a thread's life cycle (New, Runnable, Blocked,
Terminated).
6.​ Demonstrate creation and execution of threads :
•​ By using Thread class
•​ By using Runnable interface
Basic servlets with HTML content :
2
1.​ To develop Java Servlets that generate dynamic HTML web pages including:
a.​ Basic text output
b.​ Timetable display
c.​ Structured HTML page
d.​ Homepage layout
e.​ SYCS syllabus display
3 Handling user input in servlets :
1.​ Develop Java Servlets that accept user input through an HTML form and perform
various numerical operations such as:
a.​ Factorial calculation
b.​ Positive/Negative/Zero check
c.​ Prime number check
d.​ Even/Odd check
2. Build a student registration form that submits data to a servlet and displays output on
the web page.
4 Implement session tracking and request dispatching.
1.​ Implement RequestDispatcher forward() for login validation (correct password →
welcome, else error).
2.​ Use Cookies to count and display a user's visit frequency.
3.​ Create a servlet demonstrating the use of session creation and destruction.
Use JSP implicit objects for data handling and validations.
5
1.​ Develop a simple JSP application to display values obtained from the use of
intrinsic objects [Implicit Objects] of various types.
2.​ Develop a simple JSP application to pass values from one page to another with
validations. (Name-txt, age-txt, hobbies-checkbox, email-txt,gender-radio
button)
6 Use of JSP Actions:
1.​ JSP program that takes a number as input from the user and checks whether the
number is even or odd using scriptlets.
2.​ Create a JSP application to demonstrate the Page Directive with a focus on automatic
error redirection and exception handling. The application must consist of two pages:
one to perform a calculation and another to catch and display errors.
3.​ Write a JSP program to include a footer page ([Link]) in a home page using the
<jsp:include> action.
Demonstrate Expression Language in JSP.
7
1.​ Write a JSP program to demonstrate accessing page, request, session, and application
scopes using Expression Language (EL).
2.​ Write a JSP program to demonstrate form data handling using EL implicit object
param.
3.​ Write a JSP program to demonstrate arithmetic operators using Expression Language.
4.​ Write a JSP program to demonstrate relational operators using Expression Language.

13
 CRUD operations using JSP/Servlet with database integration on Student table:
8.
●​ Insert into student table using Prepared Statement in JSP/Servlet
●​ Select a specific student(entered by user) using Statement Interface in JSP/Servlet
●​ Update the name of Student by using PreparedStatement in JSP/Servlet
●​ Delete the Student(entered by user) by using Statement Interface in JSP/Servlet
●​ Select the data of all students using Prepared Statement Interface in JSP/Servlet

9 Understand and demonstrate JDBC Metadata usage.

1.​ Develop a web application using HTML,JSP/Servlet, and JDBC to retrieve and
display student records from a MySQL database in tabular format, with proper
exception handling using SQLException.
2.​ Develop a web application using HTML,JSP/Servlet and JDBC to demonstrate the
use of the DatabaseMetaData interface.
3.​ Develop a web application using HTML, JSP/Servlet and JDBC to demonstrate the
use of the ResultSetMetaData interface.

10 Work with BLOB & CLOB data types in JSP/Servlet.

1.​ Create a web application using HTML, JSP/Servlet and JDBC to store and retrieve
image files in a MySQL database using the BLOB data type.
2.​ Create a web application using HTML,JSP/Servlet and JDBC to store and retrieve
large text data using the CLOB data type.​
