Abstract
E-commerce has changed the global business-model and economic structure completely. The Internet's development has created a global electronic marketplace that goes beyond the limitation of time and space. Server-side Java and database are a perfect combination for an E-commerce web site development. An example for that is a JavaServer Page (JSP), Servlet engine such as the Apache Jakarta project's Tomcat, and a database like MySQL. All of them are freely available and have an open source. Java Servlet and JSP technology provide an attractive alternative compared to other types of dynamic Web scripting/programming. These attractive things are platform independence, enhanced performance, separation of logic from display, ease of administration, extensibility into the enterprise and most importantly, the ease of use. MySQL database is fast in retrieving data and very reliable. Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) offer MySQL at little or no extra charge. This project will attempt to build a small to midsize E-commerce web sites by using Java Servlet and JSP technology and combining them with MySQL database.
