Backend Development Guidelines

Backend conventions for the JSP + Servlet + MySQL library-management system.


Overview

The developer has established the backend architecture as a B/S Java web application using JSP + Servlet, MySQL, Tomcat, and IDEA. The initial scaffold now exists under src/main/; remaining module names below describe conventions for future feature work.

Use a layered design:

JSP/CSS presentation -> Servlet controller -> Service/business -> DAO -> MySQL

Controllers handle request dispatch, parameter validation, and result return. Services handle business workflows and permission checks. DAOs perform database CRUD. MySQL stores books, categories, readers, borrowing records, administrators, roles/permissions, and system logs.

Pre-Development Checklist

Before backend implementation, read:

  • .trellis/spec/backend/directory-structure.md
  • .trellis/spec/backend/database-guidelines.md
  • .trellis/spec/backend/error-handling.md
  • .trellis/spec/backend/logging-guidelines.md
  • .trellis/spec/backend/quality-guidelines.md
  • .trellis/tasks/archive/2026-04/00-bootstrap-guidelines/research/project-requirements.md

Core Backend Modules

  • Login and permission management for administrator, librarian, and reader roles.
  • Book information management for create, update, delete, category maintenance, and inventory status.
  • Reader information management for profiles, borrowing eligibility, and contact information.
  • Borrowing and return management for borrow, return, renew, overdue handling, and automatic collection status updates.
  • Book search and statistics for combined title, author, category, and ID search, borrowing rankings, inventory reports, and overdue reports.
  • System maintenance and logs for key operation logs, data backup support, and exception tracing.
