Setup the project

clone the project

git clone https://github.com/YigWoo/user-manage.git user-manage

Set up the database

The database used here is mysql, download it from mysql. In order to access the database using java, you need Connector J(mysql-connector-java-x.x.x-bin.jar file), you can find it in your mysql installation directory(if you're using windows), the jar file should both be contained in your project's classpath and WebContent/WEB-INF/lib, since the first one is used when your .java file is compiled into .class file, the second one is used when you actually running your application.

Warning: if you're going to execute resources/mysql_shema.sql, the sql is going to drop table mydb/users_table if it exists!

Set up the Tomcat

To run the web application, you'll need to setup Tomcat, DON'T use Tomcat8, since the current edition of eclipse doesn't support Tomcat8 yet.

Import the project

To setup the project, you'll need eclipse. Java EE edition is recommended.

Simply import the project into the eclipse workspace will do.
