UniStore001: RESTful gateway for a database schema

Description This is a Java/JDK 16 development project, delivered as NetBeans 12 projects. In this project, the developer will provide the following: 1. A REST server that exposes an API that allows access and several methods to a provided MySQL database schema. 2. A client library that provides applications with a Java API to the services of the server in (1). The API that is implemented in this project is identical to a JPA-implemented library that is supplied by me in the project UniStoreJpa. This Java library contains several JPA controller classes, and your task is to convert the API of these classes into a REST server that will run on Apache Tomcat 10.x or some other servlet-container/application server (GlassFish 6.1 or 6.2). That client library that you will provide consumes the services of the server in (1), and this client has the same interface as the provided JPA controller library. Required Expertise Make sure that you/the team is proficient in the following subjects: • High level and significant experience in Java SE and Java EE, including newer SDKs > 9. • Web services: REST, and related Java libraries • JPA and Hibernate • NetBeans 12 IDE • Application servers and Servlet containers that support JDK 16: GlassFish 6.1 and Tomcat 10.x. You should know how to deploy these servers, and how to deploy and manage applications and web services under these servers. • MySQL 8 database and tools. You should be familiar with this application, deploy and manage it, and use its tools.
