Project Overview

FilmMVC is a film management system developed using Java Servlets and JSP. The application allows users to perform CRUD operations on a film database and integrates with external APIs for additional film information.

Features

• CRUD Operations: Users can add, edit, delete, and list films.
• Search Functionality: The application provides search capabilities for films by various criteria.
• External API Integration: It integrates with external APIs to fetch additional film information.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Java, Servlets, JSP
• Database: MySQL
• Build Tool: Apache Maven
• IDE: Eclipse

Design and Architecture

The FilmMVC project follows a Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.

1. Model: Represents the film data and business logic.
2. View: Displays the data (film information) to the user.
3. Controller: Handles user input and interacts with the model to update the view.
