This tutorial code used to explain Spring with Hibernate for persistence layer and Web MVC to call CRUD operations and using dbcp2 API for connection pool management by following tasks:

• add spring-context, mysql-connector-java, spring-orm spring-webmvc and dependencies
• add javax.servlet.jsp-api, javax.servlet-api and jstl dependencies for implementing Java server-side UI(.jsp files).
• add spring-data-jpa, hibernate-core, hibernate-entitymanager and hibernate-validator dependencies for implementing Persistence ORM layer.
• add commons-dbcp2 dependency for supporting Database Connection Pool feature.
• using Entity bean to add new DAO object and using @Entity and @Table annotations plus @GeneratedValue for generating table key value automatically.
• support using GET/POST HTTP requests to access CRUD services.
• using tag libs in JSP view pages to iterate/post and formatting Java objects to HTML contents and pass HTML input forms to Java Object.
• using @InitBinder to convert String date input to java.util.Date format.

TIP: Database DDL and DML SQL queries is added to db_files folder
