System Architecture

• Design DAO Layer to connect database
• Design Service Layer to provide interfaces for manipulate database
• Design View Layer to show information to users
• Design Controller Layer to deal with URL requests
  • Use interface in Service Layer to manipulate database
  • Add an object to View Layer

Component Design

• User design, ordinary setters and getters are omitted

  • Field userId is unique, used as the primary key
  • Field email is unique, it will be checked while registering an account

  public class User {
      private Integer userId;

      private String email;
      private String password;
      private Timestamp registrationTime;
  
      public User(String nickname, String email, String password) {
          this.nickname = nickname;
          this.email = email;
