Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Backend Web Application

This guide walks through how to build a backend for a web application using Java, Spring Boot, and MySQL.

1. Understand the Requirements

- Identify application goals, features, users, and data.

2. Choose Backend Tech Stack

- Language: Java

- Framework: Spring Boot

- Database: MySQL

- ORM: Hibernate (JPA)

3. Set Up the Project

- Use Spring Initializr (https://start.spring.io)

- Add dependencies: Spring Web, Spring Data JPA, MySQL Driver

4. Configure the Database

application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_db

spring.datasource.username=root

spring.datasource.password=yourpassword

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

spring.jpa.show-sql=true

5. Create the Entity (Model)

@Entity

public class Employee {

@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)

private int id;

private String name;


}

6. Create the Repository

@Repository

public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Integer> {}

7. Create the Service Layer

@Service

public class EmployeeService {

@Autowired private EmployeeRepository repo;

public List<Employee> getAll() { return repo.findAll(); }

public Employee save(Employee e) { return repo.save(e); }

public void delete(int id) { repo.deleteById(id); }

8. Create the Controller

@RestController

@RequestMapping("/api/employees")

public class EmployeeController {

@Autowired private EmployeeService service;

@GetMapping public List<Employee> getAll() { return service.getAll(); }

@PostMapping public Employee create(@RequestBody Employee e) { return service.save(e); }

@DeleteMapping("/{id}") public void delete(@PathVariable int id) { service.delete(id); }

9. Test the API

- Tools: Postman, Swagger, cURL

10. Add Validation & Exception Handling

- Use annotations like @NotNull, @Size

- Add @ControllerAdvice for global exception handling

11. Security (Optional)


- Use Spring Security + JWT

12. Deployment

- Deploy on AWS, Heroku, Docker, or other cloud services

13. Connect to Frontend

- Frontend (React/Angular/Vue) consumes backend REST APIs

Summary of Components:

| Component | Description |

|---------------|-------------------------------|

| Entity | Maps to DB table |

| Repository | DAO layer for DB access |

| Service | Business logic |

| Controller | Exposes HTTP REST APIs |

| Config | DB and project settings |

| Security | Optional API protection |

| Testing | JUnit, Postman, Swagger |
