Spring Boot + PostgreSQL + JSP CRUD

In this section, we will learn how to develop a basic Student Management Application using Spring Boot 3, Spring Data JPA, PostgreSQL, & JSP. The GitHub repository link is provided at the end of this tutorial. 

Note 

A quick side note here is that JSP has limitations on its own and even more so when combined with Spring Boot. So, we should consider the following template engines as better alternatives to JSP.

Configuring PostgreSQL Database and JSP View Resolver

First, you need to create a database in the PostgreSQL server. You can use the following command to create a database in the PostgresSQL server:
CREATE DATABASE students;

Now, let’s configure the Spring Boot application to use PostgreSQL as our data source. You can do that simply by adding PostgreSQL database URL, username, and password in the src/main/resources/application.properties file.

Open src/main/resources/application.properties file and add the following content to it:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/students
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

# Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update)
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update

spring.mvc.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp


Create the JPA Entity - Student.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.model;

import jakarta.persistence.*;

@Entity
@Table
public class Student {
   
   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   private Long id;
   
   @Column(name="first_name")
   private String firstName;
   
   @Column(name="last_name")
   private String lastName;

   @Column(name="email_id")
   private String emailId;

   public Long getId() {
      return id;
   }

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

   public String getFirstName() {
      return firstName;
   }

   public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
      this.firstName = firstName;
   }

   public String getLastName() {
      return lastName;
   }

   public void setLastName(String lastName) {
      this.lastName = lastName;
   }

   public String getEmailId() {
      return emailId;
   }

   public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
      this.emailId = emailId;
   }
}


Spring Data JPA Repository Interface - StudentRepository.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.repository;

import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.model.Student;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;


@Repository
public interface StudentRepository extends JpaRepository<Student, Long>{

}


Create Student Service Interface - StudentService.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.service;

import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.dto.StudentDTO;
import java.util.List;

public interface StudentService {

   public void createOrUpdateStudent(StudentDTO empDTO);
   
   public List<StudentDTO> getAllStudent();
   
   public void deleteStudent(Long id);
   
   public StudentDTO editStudent(Long id);
   
}


Create Student Service Implementation - StudentServiceImpl

package com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.serviceImpl;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.dto.StudentDTO;
import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.model.Student;
import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.repository.StudentRepository;
import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.service.StudentService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class StudentServiceImpl implements StudentService {
   
   @Autowired
   private StudentRepository studentRepository;

   public void createOrUpdateStudent(StudentDTO studentDTO) {
      Student student = convertDtoToModel(studentDTO);
      studentRepository.save(student);
   }
   
   public List<StudentDTO> getAllStudent() {
      List<Student> list = studentRepository.findAll();
      List<StudentDTO> userList = list.stream()
               .map(StudentDTO::new)
               .collect(Collectors.toCollection(ArrayList::new));
      return userList;
   }
   
   public void deleteStudent(Long id) {
      studentRepository.deleteById(id);
   }
   
   public StudentDTO editStudent(Long id) {
      Student student = studentRepository.getReferenceById(id);
      return convertModelToDTO(student);
   }
   
   private Student convertDtoToModel(StudentDTO userDto) {
      Student student = new Student();
      if (userDto.getId() != null) {
         student.setId(userDto.getId());
      }
      student.setEmailId(userDto.getEmailId());
      student.setFirstName(userDto.getFirstName());
      student.setLastName(userDto.getLastName());
      return student;
   }
   
   private StudentDTO convertModelToDTO(Student student) {
      StudentDTO studentDTO = new StudentDTO();
      studentDTO.setId(student.getId());
      studentDTO.setEmailId(student.getEmailId());
      studentDTO.setFirstName(student.getFirstName());
      studentDTO.setLastName(student.getLastName());
      return studentDTO;
   }
}


Create Student DTO - StudentDTO.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.dto;

import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.model.Student;

public class StudentDTO {
   
   private Long id;
   private String firstName;
   private String lastName;
   private String emailId;
   
   public StudentDTO() {
   }
   
   public StudentDTO(Student employee) {
      this.firstName = employee.getFirstName();
      this.lastName = employee.getLastName();
      this.emailId = employee.getEmailId();
      this.id = employee.getId();
   }

   public String getFirstName() {
      return firstName;
   }

   public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
      this.firstName = firstName;
   }

   public String getLastName() {
      return lastName;
   }

   public void setLastName(String lastName) {
      this.lastName = lastName;
   }

   public String getEmailId() {
      return emailId;
   }

   public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
      this.emailId = emailId;
   }

   public Long getId() {
      return id;
   }

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


Create Student Controller - StudentController.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.controller;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.dto.StudentDTO;
import com.knf.dev.demo.crudapp.service.StudentService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;

@Controller
public class StudentController {

   @Autowired
   private StudentService studentService;
   
   @GetMapping(value = {"/","/registration"})
   public String registration(Map<String, Object> model) {
      model.put("student", new StudentDTO());
      return "student-add-update";
   }
   
   @PostMapping("/home")
   public String createStudent
         (@ModelAttribute("student") StudentDTO studentDto) {
      studentService.createOrUpdateStudent(studentDto);
      return "redirect:/list";   
   }
   
   @GetMapping("/list")
   public String listOfStudent(Model model) {
      List<StudentDTO> studentList = studentService.getAllStudent();
      model.addAttribute("studentList", studentList);
      return "student-list";
   }
   
   @PostMapping("/delete")
   public String deleteStudent(@RequestParam("id") String id) {
      studentService.deleteStudent(Long.parseLong(id));
      return "redirect:/list";      
   }
   
   @GetMapping("/edit")
   public String editStudent(
         @RequestParam("id") String id, Map<String, Object> model) {
      StudentDTO studentDTO = studentService
            .editStudent(Long.parseLong(id));
      model.put("student", studentDTO);
      return "student-add-update";

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Str...

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r...

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSiz...
