# PC Parts Shop (Java)
### This repository has been archived and will no longer be updated.
[](https://maven.apache.org/)
[](https://www.mysql.com/)
PC Parts Shop is a mock-up website for any computer hardware retailer.
This web application uses basic Java Servlets, Java Database Connectivity and Java Persistence API.
The entire **Apache Maven** project is made and tested on **Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers** with **MySQL database**.
To make sure this web application runs smoothly, it is recommended to run using the aforementioned programs.
You can access the website on:

## Notes for accessing Render
### The first time accessing this website will take a long time to load.
> PC Parts Shop is hosted on Render's Free plan, therefore resources are limited and slowed down when inactive.
### When accessing the website 1-2 months AFTER it's been updated, you might encounter lots of 404 errors when browsing items.
> The service that is hosting the MySQL database has been _powered down_ as this project only serves as a college project and has no commercial use.

Download and Extract Apache Maven *(Preferred version: 3.9.5+)* from: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
Download and Extract Apache Tomcat *(Preferred version: 8.0+)* from: https://tomcat.apache.org/

# How to run (Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers)
Don't forget to check [this section](#known-problems) if you happen to run into any unexpected errors!
## Install dependencies
### Java libraries
**NOTE**: All .jar files are located in `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/libs`
1. Right click on com.pcpartsshop (root) > Build Path > Configure Build Path...
2. Make sure you are seeing Java Build Path and on the Libraries tab.
3. Select External JARs > Select all .jar files > Open.
4. Apply and Close.
### Create the Database
**NOTE**: If you want to change the database name, don't forget to change it in the `persistence.xml` and `context.xml` too!
1. Open the MySQL Command Line Client and log in to your account.
2. Run `create database pc_parts_shop;` (Don't forget the semicolon!)
## Set up environment
### Modify persistence.xml
**NOTE**: persistence.xml is located in `src/main/resources/META-INF`.
- Locate the `persistence.xml`.
- Look for the `` tag and change these values:
+ *jakarta.persistence.jdbc.url*: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/pc_parts_shop
+ *jakarta.persistence.jdbc.user*: MySQL_username (Default: root)
+ *jakarta.persistence.jdbc.password*: MySQL_password
### Set up Apache Tomcat server
> Follow the steps [here](https://www.javatpoint.com/how-to-configure-tomcat-server-in-eclipse-ide#:~:text=For%20configuring%20the%20tomcat%20server,%2D%3E%20addAll%20%2D%3E%20Finish.)!
### Modify batch script
**NOTE**: You need to *EDIT* the script, not *RUN* it!
1. Locate `run-commands.bat` (src/main/webapp/scripts) and open the script.
2. Change the value of `mysql_path` to the setup path of your mysql.exe .
```
set mysql_path=path\to\your\mysql.exe
# mysql.exe can be found at (...\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server (Version)\bin\).
```
3. Change the values of `username` and `password` values to your respective credentials.
```
set username=your_username
set password=your_password
```
4. Save the `.bat` script and run it.
5. If step 4 fails, troubleshoot [here](#troubleshoot-batch-script-not-running).

## Install dependencies
### Java libraries
**NOTE**: All .jar files are located in `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/libs`.
1. Right click on pcpartsshop (root) > Open Module Settings.
2. Navigate to Global Libraries tab > Add Java library > Select all the .jar files.
3. Navigate to Module tab > Select Dependencies > Add the Library (*Step 2*) and tick the checkbox > Apply.
### Create the Database
**NOTE**: If you want to change the database name, don't forget to change it in the `persistence.xml` and `context.xml` too!
1. Open the MySQL Command Line Client and log in to your account.
2. Run `create database pc_parts_shop;` (Don't forget the semicolon!)
## Set up environment
### Modify persistence.xml
**NOTE**: persistence.xml is located in `src/main/resources/META-INF`.
- Locate the `persistence.xml`.
- Look for the `` tag and change these values:
+ *jakarta.persistence.jdbc.url*: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/pc_parts_shop
+ *jakarta.persistence.jdbc.user*: MySQL_username (Default: root)
+ *jakarta.persistence.jdbc.password*: MySQL_password
### Set up Smart Tomcat server
**NOTE**: If Smart Tomcat configurations are all blank, proceed past step 1.
1. Go to `Run/Debug Configurations > Add Smart Tomcat` (At this step, the Tomcat server should automatically configure itself).
2. Tomcat Server: Extract and Select the `Apache Tomcat`'s root directory from the .zip.
3. Catalina base: Select `C:\Users\\.SmartTomcat\com.pcpartsshop\com.pcpartsshop`.
4. Deployment Directory: Select `com.pcpartsshop/src/main/webapp`.
5. Use classpath of module: Select `com.pcpartsshop`.
If you can't select classpath of module, `Right click on the project's root directory > Run Maven > Reimport > Retry select module`.
6. Context path: `/pcpartsshop`.
### Modify batch script
**NOTE**: You need to *EDIT* the script, not *RUN* it!
1. Locate `run-commands.bat` (src/main/webapp/scripts) and open the script.
2. Change the value of `mysql_path` to the setup path of your mysql.exe.
```
set mysql_path=path\to\your\mysql.exe
# mysql.exe can be found at (...\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server (Version)\bin\).
```
3. Change the values of `username` and `password` values to your respective credentials.
```
set username=your_username
set password=your_password
```
4. Save the `.bat` script and run it.
5. If step 4 fails, troubleshoot [here](#troubleshoot-batch-script-not-running).
# KNOWN PROBLEMS
### Why can't the website access the database despite having correctly modified the "persistence.xml"?
This problem tends to be unique for **Eclipse IDE** users.
> Go to `Project Explorer > Servers > Tomcat vX.X Server at localhost-config > context.xml > Open With > Generic Text Editor`.
> Change the "url" `HOST` (localhost or 127.0.0.1), `PORT` (Default: 3306).
> Change the `username` and `password` values.
> Then insert the tags below in between ``.
```
```
### Troubleshoot batch script not running
> Make sure you have followed all the steps provided to modify this script!
> Run `com.pcpartsshop` on Tomcat Server, then access any Catalog page or Account information page.
> The reason this happens is because the ORM hasn't fired up and hasn't created any tables in the database.
> After this, open MySQL Command Line Client and run these commands to see if tables have been created or not, then run the batch script again.
```
use pc_parts_shop;
show tables;
```
### If you encounter either of these errors:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Failed to load or instantiate TagLibraryValidator class: [org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV]
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.home_jsp
> Make sure you have already added the necessary libraries located in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/libs.
> Locate the `pom.xml` file (src/main/webapp/WEB-INF).
> Add `` tags with `provided` value to **ALL** dependencies.
