🏫 SIMS - School Information Management System

🔖 Object Oriented Programming with Java + JSP & Servlets Web Application.

In this assignment, we are developing a web application using Java web-based technologies.

  ✅ Java (Web Dynamic Application)   
  ✅ JSP - Java Server Pages   
  ✅ Servlets    
  ✅ MySql

🏷️ Prerequisites

• Have JDK installed
• Have Apache Tomcat Server installed (or XAMPP)
• Have MySQL installed (or XAMPP)
• Have Eclipse installed (Enterprise)

🔛 This Developed On:

   ☑️ JDK 15 / Dynamic Web Module 3.1
   ☑️ XAMPP-8.1.6-0-VS16 + Apache Tomcat/8.5.78
   ☑️ XAMPP-8.1.6-0-VS16 + Mysql Ver 15.1
   ☑️ Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers - 2022-06

🏷️ Installation

1. Clone or Download this Repository.

2. Add Project Folder to Your Local PC eclipse-workspace. ( or Clone to directly to it)

3. Open Project in Eclipse IDE.

4. In IDE Go to Window -> Show View -> Servers.

5. Click Create a New Server Link.

6. Then Select Tomcat Server Version in Apache dir and Click Next. (Recommend to use: Tomcat v8.5 Server)

   Before that, you have to Identify what is your installed Tomcat version. If you are using XAMPP then you can check that by XAMPP C-Panel. Start Tomcat -> Go to http://localhost:8080/

7. Then Browse Tomcat Installation Dir and Click Next then Finish.

   The previously selected version should be already installed. If you are using XAMPP then you can select this directory C:\xampp\tomcat

8. Then Start Apache Server and MySQL Server. (if you are using XAMPP, otherwise run MySQL server)

9. Then Create lib Folder in src\main\webapp\WEB-INF dir. (if lib dir is there not)

10. Then Copy JAR Files From sims-oop-web-project\external-libraries dir to lib dir.

    mysql-connector-java-8.0.30.jar

    javax.servlet-api-4.0.1.jar

    servlet-api-4.0.0.jar

    jstl-1.2.jar

    jstl-api-1.2-rev-1.jar

11. Add Libraries to Project.

    Go to Project Properties 
    -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Classpath 
        If the Classpath have already JAR files, select all JARs and remove those from classpath
    -> Add JARs -> Select JARs from src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\lib 
    -> Ok and Apply
    

12. Then Set Environment Variables in env.properties. (If they're not correct values or not set critical values)

13. Go to com.sims.project.db_environment_initializer Package dir. (See in Project -> Java Resource/src/main/java)

14. Run Java Application Files. (Right click .java file -> Run As -> 2 Java Application)

    1. CreateDatabase.java
    2. MigrateTables.java
    3. InsertDefaultEntries.java (If you want)
    

15. Change Host URL Path.

    Go to IDE Project Explorer 
    -> Servers -> Tomcat -> server.xml 
    -> Find project root name (sims-oop-web-project) in server file 
        if can't find <Context> element, project `Run on Server` one time 
    -> Change path attribute to `path="/"` on Context element 
    -> Save 
    

16. Run Web Project.

     > Right click Project main root `Run As -> 1 Run on Server`
     > Choose Server `localhost -> Tomcat Server`
     > Check `Always use this server ....`
     > Click Next and Finish
