🍕 A full-stack Java EE web application for ordering custom Mediterranean pizzas online with comprehensive business logic.
This Online Pizza Ordering System demonstrates my understanding and skills in enterprise Java web development.
It allows customers to:
🍕 Create custom pizzas with various toppings and crusts
🛒 Add multiple pizzas to shopping cart
💳 Pay online or choose cash on delivery
🏠 Choose between home delivery or pickup
📋 Receive order confirmations with estimated delivery times
Employees can:
🔑 Access administrative functions through secure login
🧀 Manage available pizza toppings
📦 Track and update order status
📄 JSP/JSF pages
🎨 CSS3
💻 JavaScript
📱 Responsive design principles
☕ Java EE
🧩 Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
🗄️ MySQL database
🔌 Three-tier architecture
This application implements a proper three-layer architecture:
1️⃣ Presentation Layer
JSP/JSF pages for the user interface
Servlets as controllers handling HTTP requests
Client-side validation with JavaScript
2️⃣ Business Layer
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) encapsulating business logic
Service classes implementing business rules
Validation and exception handling
3️⃣ Data Access Layer
Entity classes mapping to database tables
EJB-based CRUD operations
Data transfer objects (DTOs) for efficient data exchange
The application strictly follows object-oriented programming principles (wherever possible):
Encapsulation: Private fields with getters/setters
Inheritance: Base classes extended for specialized functionality
Polymorphism: Interface implementations for flexible component design
Abstraction: Abstract classes and interfaces hiding implementation details
The database schema follows proper relational database design principles:
Normalized tables (3NF) to minimize redundancy
Appropriate primary and foreign keys
Proper indexes for performance optimization
Constraints ensuring data integrity
