Internship outline of java:

Phase 1: Java Fundamentals & JDBC Basics

Goal: Establish a strong foundation in core Java programming and database interaction
using JDBC.

Topics:

●​ Day 1-2: Java Basics Refresher​

○​ Introduction to Java: What is Java, JVM, JRE, JDK, platform independence.

○​ Variables and Data Types: Primitive types, reference types, type casting.
○​ Operators: Arithmetic, relational, logical, assignment, unary.
○​ Control Flow Statements:
■​ if-else, switch
■​ for, while, do-while loops
■​ break, continue
○​ Arrays: One-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays.
○​ Methods: Defining, calling, parameters, return types, method overloading.
○​ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts - Introduction:
■​ Classes and Objects: Blueprint vs. instance.
■​ Encapsulation: Access modifiers (public, private, protected,
default).
■​ Constructors.
■​ this keyword.
●​ Day 3-4: More OOP & Exception Handling​

○​ OOP Concepts - Deeper Dive:

■​ Inheritance: extends keyword, method overriding, super keyword.
■​ Polymorphism: Compile-time (overloading) vs. Runtime (overriding).
■​ Abstraction: Abstract classes and methods, interfaces.
○​ Packages: Organizing classes.
○​ Exception Handling:
■​ try-catch-finally block.
■​ throws keyword.
■​ Checked vs. Unchecked exceptions.
○​ Collections Framework - Introduction:
■​ ArrayList, HashSet, HashMap (basic usage).
●​ Day 5-7: JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)​

○​ Database Concepts (Brief Overview): Relational databases, tables,

columns, rows, SQL basics (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).
○​ Introduction to JDBC: What it is, JDBC architecture (Driver Manager, Driver,
Connection, Statement, ResultSet).
 ○​ Setting up JDBC:
■​ Adding JDBC driver (e.g., MySQL Connector/J, PostgreSQL JDBC
Driver) to classpath.
■​ Connecting to a database.
○​ Executing SQL Queries:
■​ Statement: For static SQL queries.
■​ PreparedStatement: For parameterized and more secure queries
(highly recommended).
○​ Retrieving Data: ResultSet methods (next(), getString(), getInt(),
etc.).
○​ Inserting, Updating, Deleting Data: executeUpdate() method.
○​ Resource Management: Closing Connection, Statement, ResultSet in
finally blocks.
○​ Mini-Project: A simple console-based application that performs CRUD
operations on a local database table (e.g., a simple student record system or
product inventory).

Phase 2: Servlets - The Foundation of Java Web

Goal: Understand how Java handles web requests and responses using Servlets.

Topics:

●​ Day 8-9: Web Application Fundamentals & Servlet Basics​

○​ Introduction to Web Applications: Client-server architecture, HTTP

request-response cycle, web servers (e.g., Apache Tomcat), web containers.
○​ Setting up a Web Development Environment:
■​ Install JDK (if not already done).
■​ Install Apache Tomcat (or similar servlet container).
■​ Basic IDE setup (e.g., Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web
Developers, IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition).
○​ Servlet Introduction: What are Servlets, their role in web applications.
○​ Servlet Life Cycle: init(), service(), destroy().
○​ HttpServlet Class: Handling HTTP methods (doGet(), doPost()).
○​ Request Dispatching: RequestDispatcher (forward(), include()).
○​ Deployment: WAR files, deploying to Tomcat.
○​ web.xml (Deployment Descriptor): Mapping Servlets, welcome files.
●​ Day 10-11: Servlet Request & Response, State Management​

○​ HttpServletRequest: Reading request parameters (getParameter(),

getParameterValues()), headers, request attributes.
○​ HttpServletResponse: Setting response headers, sending redirects
(sendRedirect()), writing HTML output (getWriter()).
 ○​ State Management in Web Applications:
■​ Cookies: Storing small amounts of client-side data.
■​ HttpSession: Storing user-specific data on the server side.
■​ Context (ServletContext): Application-wide data.
■​ Request Attributes: Data for the current request.
○​ Form Handling: Submitting HTML forms to Servlets (GET vs. POST).
●​ Day 12-14: Connecting Servlets to JDBC & Error Handling​

○​ Integrating Servlets with JDBC:

■​ Creating a simple user registration form that saves data to the
database via a Servlet.
■​ Displaying data from the database using a Servlet.
○​ Servlet Configuration: init-param in web.xml and @WebInitParam
annotation.
○​ Basic Error Handling:
■​ Using try-catch blocks within Servlets.
■​ Custom error pages in web.xml.
○​ Mini-Project: A simple user management system where users can register,
log in (basic), and view a list of registered users. Data should be persisted in
a database using JDBC.

Phase 3: JSP - Presentation Layer & Putting it All Together

Goal: Learn how to create dynamic web pages using JSP and integrate it with Servlets and
JDBC to build a complete application.

Topics:

●​ Day 15-16: JSP Fundamentals​

○​ Introduction to JSP: What it is, why it's used (separation of concerns), JSP
life cycle.
○​ JSP Syntax:
■​ Scriptlets (<% %>): Embedding Java code (discouraged for logic).
■​ Expressions (<%= %>): Displaying values.
■​ Declarations (<%! %>): Declaring class members.
■​ Directives (<%@ %>): page, include, taglib.
○​ JSP Implicit Objects: request, response, session, application, out,
config, pageContext, page, exception.
○​ Including Content: <%@ include file="..." %> vs. <jsp:include
page="..." />.
●​ Day 17-18: JSP Actions & EL/JSTL​

○​ JSP Standard Actions (<jsp:action>):

 ■​ <jsp:forward>: Forwarding requests.
■​ <jsp:useBean>: Creating/accessing JavaBeans.
■​ <jsp:setProperty>, <jsp:getProperty>: Setting/getting bean
properties.
○​ JavaBeans: Simple Java classes following conventions (private fields, public
getters/setters).
○​ Expression Language (EL):
■​ Simplified access to JavaBeans properties, map values, array
elements.
■​ Scope resolution.
■​ Basic operators.
○​ JSTL (JSP Standard Tag Library) - Introduction:
■​ Why JSTL: Eliminating scriptlets, cleaner JSP code.
■​ Core Tags (c:forEach, c:if, c:choose, c:when, c:otherwise,
c:out).
■​ Setting up JSTL (JAR files).
●​ Day 19-21: MVC Pattern & Complete Web Application​

○​ Introduction to MVC (Model-View-Controller) Pattern:

■​ Model: Business logic, data access (JavaBeans, DAO).
■​ View: Presentation (JSP).
■​ Controller: Request processing, invoking model, selecting view
(Servlet).
■​ Benefits of MVC.
○​ Implementing MVC with Servlets and JSPs:
■​ DAO (Data Access Object) Pattern: Abstracting database
operations.
■​ Front Controller Servlet: A single Servlet handling all requests, then
delegating to appropriate JSPs or other Servlets/classes.
○​ Building a CRUD Application:
■​ Design and implement a simple web application (e.g., a simple
product catalog or a task manager).
■​ Use Servlets as controllers.
■​ Use JSPs for views (displaying lists, forms for add/edit).
■​ Use JavaBeans/POJOs as models.
■​ Use JDBC and DAO pattern for database interaction.
■​ Implement features like:
■​ Listing all items.
■​ Adding a new item.
■​ Editing an existing item.
■​ Deleting an item.
○​ Deployment of the final application.
