MVC Pattern Implementation

The Model-View-Controller architectural pattern organizes the application into three interconnected components:

• Model: Manages data operations including database interactions, business logic, and data validation
• View: Handles user interface presentation and data visualization
• Controller: Processes user requests, coordinates between model and view components

This separation enables independent development of presentation and business logic layers, improving maintainability and facilitating team collaboration.

Database Management

MySQL serves as the relational database management system, selected for its compact footprint, performance efficiency, and open-source availability. The system supports both MySQL 5.7 and 8.x versions.

Development Environment Requirements

• Java Development Kit: JDK 1.8
• IDE Compatibility: IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse
• Application Server: Apache Tomcat 7-10
• Database: MySQL 5.7 or 8.x
• Build Tool: Non-Maven project structure
• Operating System: Windows
