Java Based Website

[AustinB]

Hello LTT!

 

Instead of getting some work done from someone on freelancer.com I decided to do it on my own.

 

I plan on making a website like: quibids.com - Java based. I haven't learn't much yet, just the basics.

 

So I was wondering if I was thinking this out right, and if each Java based segment be its own class?

 

index

Nav PHP

Jumbo PHP (How many users are online)

Recent Auctions Java (Show most recent Complete Auctions)

Recent Testimonials Java (Show most recent Testimonials) 

Footer PHP

 

Current Auctions Java

Displays all auctions that are currently being run in the order of Lowest Time to Highest time left.

 

Auction Page Java

More Details on that auction.

 

Completed Auctions Java

Displays all auctions marked "complete" in MySQL - Basically just a Giant list of the auctions.

 

All Admin Pages related to the bidding are Java

Login - Resister and Profile pages will also be Java

 

 

 

So I was wondering if I was thinking this out right, and if each Java based segment(page) be its own class?

 

Thanks for any help.

I don't have much experience with building websites, but I believe that they should be individual classes. You'll find that it's easier to work with many shorter classes. I'm speaking from ease of use, however. I don't know if they *need* to be their own classes, but it would be recommended.

Do you have lots of experience with Java and/or PHP?

Why?

[LukeTim]

Why use a mix of Java and PHP?

 

Why not just use Java exclusively?

The PHP portions are just to easily change the Nav, Footer and other content throughout the website.

I've never used JSP before... but I would imagine that you shouldn't need PHP to do that. It should be easy enough in Java.

Meh, I've already got it built in PHP.

Drop both of them and use Django. You'll thank me later.

Well why not just keep using PHP?
