Architecture

The architecture of the web application is Monolithic and Three Tier (Three Layer) Architecture in which each layer communicates with the layer directly below or above (hierarchical structure) build with the following components:

Presentation layer: This is the user interface of the application that presents the application's features and data to the user.

Business logic (or Application) layer: This layer contains the business logic that drives the application's core functionalities. Like making decisions, calculations, evaluations, and processing the data passing between the other two layers.

Data access layer (or Data) layer: This layer is responsible for interacting with databases to save and retrieve application data.

Example

1. Spring MVC controller receives an HTTP request from the client ( browser).
2. Spring MVC controller process the request and sends that request to the service layer.
3. Service Layer responsible to hold the business logic of the application.
4. Repository layer responsible for interacting with databases to save and retrieve application data.
5. Spring MVC controller return view on Thymeleaf to render on the browser.
