Part 1 Part 3

Main Tutorial

This is part 2 of Build Todo App using JSP, Servlet, JDBC and MySQL tutorial.

In this part 2, we create Todo management features such as add todo, update todo, list todo and delete todo.

In part 2, I will cover the below topics:

Model Layer - Todo.java
DAO Layer - TodoDao.java and TodoDaoImpl.java
Controller Layer - TodoController.java
View Layer - todo-form.jsp and todo-list.jsp
Creating an error page

Model Layer - Todo.java

This is a model class represents a Todo entity:

package net.javaguides.todoapp.model;

import java.time.LocalDate;


/**
 * Todo.java
 * This is a model class represents a Todo entity
 * @author Ramesh Fadatare
 *
 */
public class Todo {

    private Long id;
    private String title;
    private String username;
    private String description;
    private LocalDate targetDate;
    private boolean status;

    protected Todo() {

    }

    public Todo(long id, String title, String username, String description, LocalDate targetDate, boolean isDone) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.title = title;
        this.username = username;
        this.description = description;
        this.targetDate = targetDate;
        this.status = isDone;
    }

    public Todo(String title, String username, String description, LocalDate targetDate, boolean isDone) {
        super();
        this.title = title;
        this.username = username;
        this.description = description;
        this.targetDate = targetDate;
        this.status = isDone;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this.username = username;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public LocalDate getTargetDate() {
        return targetDate;
    }

    public void setTargetDate(LocalDate targetDate) {
        this.targetDate = targetDate;
    }

    public boolean getStatus() {
        return status;
    }

    public void setStatus(boolean status) {
        this.status = status;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + (int)(id ^ (id >>> 32));
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        Todo other = (Todo) obj;
        if (id != other.id)
            return false;
        return true;
    }
}

DAO Layer - TodoDao.java and TodoDaoImpl.java

TodoDao.java

Let's create a TodoDao interface with following methods:

package net.javaguides.todoapp.dao;

import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.List;

import net.javaguides.todoapp.model.Todo;

public interface TodoDao {

 void insertTodo(Todo todo) throws SQLException;

 Todo selectTodo(long todoId);

 List<Todo> selectAllTodos();

 boolean deleteTodo(int id) throws SQLException;

 boolean updateTodo(Todo todo) throws SQLException;

}

TodoDaoImpl.java

This DAO class provides CRUD database operations for the table todos in the database.

package net.javaguides.todoapp.dao;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import net.javaguides.todoapp.model.Todo;
import net.javaguides.todoapp.utils.JDBCUtils;

/**
 * This DAO class provides CRUD database operations for the table todos in the
 * database.
 * 
 * @author Ramesh Fadatare
 *
 */

public class TodoDaoImpl implements TodoDao {

    private static final String INSERT_TODOS_SQL = "INSERT INTO todos" +
        "  (title, username, description, target_date,  is_done) VALUES " + " (?, ?, ?, ?, ?);";

    private static final String SELECT_TODO_BY_ID = "select id,title,username,description,target_date,is_done from todos where id =?";
    private static final String SELECT_ALL_TODOS = "select * from todos";
    private static final String DELETE_TODO_BY_ID = "delete from todos where id = ?;";
    private static final String UPDATE_TODO = "update todos set title = ?, username= ?, description =?, target_date =?, is_done = ? where id = ?;";

    public TodoDaoImpl() {}

    @Override
    public void insertTodo(Todo todo) throws SQLException {
        System.out.println(INSERT_TODOS_SQL);
        // try-with-resource statement will auto close the connection.
        try (Connection connection = JDBCUtils.getConnection(); PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT_TODOS_SQL)) {

            System.out.println(preparedStatement);
            preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
        } catch (SQLException exception) {
            JDBCUtils.printSQLException(exception);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Todo selectTodo(long todoId) {
        Todo todo = null;
        // Step 1: Establishing a Connection
        try (Connection connection = JDBCUtils.getConnection();
            // Step 2:Create a statement using connection object
            PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(SELECT_TODO_BY_ID);) {
            preparedStatement.setLong(1, todoId);
            System.out.println(preparedStatement);
            // Step 3: Execute the query or update query
            ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.executeQuery();

        }
        return todo;
    }

    @Override
    public List < Todo > selectAllTodos() {

        // using try-with-resources to avoid closing resources (boiler plate code)
        List < Todo > todos = new ArrayList < > ();

        // Step 1: Establishing a Connection
        try (Connection connection = JDBCUtils.getConnection();

Controller Layer - TodoController

This servlet acts as a page controller for the application, handling all requests from the todo. This TodoController class to process HTTP request parameters and redirect to the appropriate JSP page after request data stored in the database:

View Layer - todo-form.jsp and todo-list.jsp

todo-form.jsp

Let' create a "todo-form.jsp" page to add and edit a todo. Let's create todo-form.jsp file and add following code to it.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"

Creating Error JSP page

Here’s the code of the Error.jsp page which simply shows the exception message:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8" isErrorPage="true" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Error</title>
</head>
<body>
 <center>
  <h1>Error</h1>
  <h2><%=exception.getMessage() %><br/> </h2>
 </center> 
</body>
</html>

Configure above error page in web.xml file as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"

 <error-page>
  <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
  <location>/Error.jsp</location>
 </error-page>
