Architecture & Patterns
Technical Architecture & Patterns
Design Patterns
Model-View-Controller (MVC)
The system strictly adheres to the MVC structural pattern. The Model package contains plain Java Entities, the Servlet package acts as controllers for parsing requests, and the webapp directory houses all JSP views.
Data Access Object (DAO) Pattern
Database interaction is entirely abstracted via DAOs (e.g., OrderDAO). This encapsulates connection logic and SQL logic, distinctly separating database operations from the application's business core.
Stateful Session Management
Relies on Java's native HttpSession mechanism to securely persist user states, contexts, and dynamic shopping carts without resorting to heavy, repetitive database read operations.
