Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll build a product catalog for an ecommerce application. You’ll learn how to load data from a database and display it on an HTML page, and use integration tests to properly understand your model and ensure its accuracy. At the end, you’ll have a fully functional Spring application that loads data from the database using Spring Data JPA and displays it using Spring MVC.
UPDATED: July 2023 to use the latest versions of Java, Gradle, and Spring Boot; and updated instructional text throughout all the projects.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
