• 3.  Creating and Populating a Database Table
  9m 4s
  Learn how to download and install a client to connect to your MySQL database and validate your JSP interactions. Use MySQL Workbench to establish a connection. Run the query editor to test JSPDatabase access. Create a new table for your JSPDatabase app. Set up and populate example fields in a customer database. Examine the Result Grid to confirm that your example customers are now inside your Customers table. FREE ACCESS
• 4.  Connecting a JSP App to a SQL Database
  12m 4s
  In this video, you will see how to build a JSP application that you will then connect to a SQL database to query customer data. Import classes defined in the java.sql library to establish Java database connections. Learn the proper syntax to execute MySQL connection strings and access the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Application Programming Interface (API). Run while loops to populate your database tables. Add a dependency to your Maven pom.xml file. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Testing a JSP App's Connectivity to the Database
  3m 28s
  In this video, you will see how to deploy and test the connectivity of your JSP application with a MySQL database, and ensure that queried data correctly displays.

Load index.jsp to run connectivity tests and execute test queries. FREE ACCESS
• 6.  Working with a Model Class
  7m 18s
  This video shows you best practices to let you define a class that represents an entity whose details are stored in a database that your app can use. Work with model, view, and controller components in separate files. Build up the UserDAO (User Data Access Object) to include interfaces to query a database, and create and maintain user access. Define style elements. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  Retrieving Single and Multiple Rows from a Table
  10m 16s
  This video shows you how to use JDBC objects to query for single or multiple rows in a database table. Define methods to read from tables and write to tables. Use the getConnection method. Invoke DriverManager.getConnection to pass usernames, passwords, and URLs. Create a list of user objects from customer data. Run ps.executeQuery to return a ResultSet. Implement a while loop to handle multiple results. FREE ACCESS
• 8.  Displaying Data Using JSTL
  11m 24s
  This video shows you how to implement tags from the JSTL library to iterate over multiple rows of data. Invoke the getAllRecords method in the UserDAO class to retrieve information and display it in a table. Use a JSP scriptlet and JSP expressions to make a call to UserDAO.getAllRecords and return a list of user objects. FREE ACCESS
• 9.  Adding New Data to a SQL Table
  8m 21s
  This video demonstrates how to execute an insert query from a Java application and add a new row of data to a SQL table. Add a new function to accept a User object. Create an adduserform. Define functions for the UserDAO class. Set the page title in HTML and define style elements. Set POST methods. FREE ACCESS
• 10.  Working with jsp:useBean and jsp:setProperty Tags
  9m 2s
  This video shows you how to automate the creation and population of a Java object with the useBean and setProperty tags in a JSP.  Make the UserDAO class include a page directive with an import. Setup a user object and all of its fields with the contents of the post data through jsp:useBean and jsp:setProperty tags. Generate a WAR file and copy it to the Tomcat server. FREE ACCESS
• 11.  Updating a Database Table via a JSP App
  11m 44s
  This video shows you how to let end-users update existing rows in a database table via a JSP application. Invoke the setString method of a PreparedStatement and invoke the Getter method for your data. Invoke the UserDAO.getRecordById method. Create a hidden input type which contains the id of the user being updated. Create a new Java Bean instance out of a user. Invoke u.getEmail and u.getName to populate text input fields. Invoke UserDAO.update. FREE ACCESS
• 12.  Deleting Rows from a Database Table
  6m 58s
  This video shows you how to allow end-users delete rows from a database table through the user interface (UI) of your JSP application. Create a deleteuser.jsp and a new delete method for UserDAO.java. Invoke ps.setInt and u.getId. Run ps.executeUpdate. Implement a catch block and return the status. Copy the WAR file to the Tomcat webapps. Execute an lsof command to help you clear up port 8080 when you are done. FREE ACCESS
