How to Kickstart a New Java Mall Project: From Tech Stack to Framework Setup

Development Process

A complete

from zero

development project involves functional design, database design, project framework setup, and API design and implementation. The backend‑related parts are functional design, database design, and API design/implementation, which also includes framework setup.

Technology Selection

During the early stage, when the product prototype is being designed, we can start building the project scaffolding by choosing mainstream technologies to implement basic functions, such as integrating MyBatis, MongoDB, and Redis for data storage, and adding common business features like a generic permission system.

We need to select mainstream frameworks and versions. The following technology stack is used in the mall project:

SpringBoot 2.7.5 – container + MVC framework

SpringSecurity 5.7.4 – authentication and authorization framework

MyBatis 3.5.10 – ORM framework

MyBatisGenerator 1.4.1 – data‑layer code generation

RabbitMQ 3.10.5 – message queue

Redis 7.0 – distributed cache

MongoDB 5.0 – NoSQL database

Elasticsearch 7.17.3 – search engine

LogStash 7.17.3 – log collection tool

Kibana 7.17.3 – log visualization tool

Nginx 1.22 – static resource server

Druid 1.2.14 – database connection pool

MinIO 8.4.5 – object storage

Hutool 5.8.0 – Java utility library

PageHelper 5.3.2 – MyBatis pagination plugin

Swagger‑UI 3.0.0 – API documentation generator

logstash‑logback‑encoder 7.2 – Logstash log collection plugin

docker‑maven‑plugin 0.40.2 – Maven plugin for building Docker images

Framework Setup

After completing the technology selection, we can build the project framework. If some technologies are unfamiliar, we first learn them and then integrate them into the project.

For example, the project uses MinIO, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ. If you have not worked with them before, create small usage demos, debug them, and then integrate them.

In my mall project, the scaffolding process followed the steps shown below.

Framework Setup Video

The entire scaffolding process is recorded in a complete video series available in the "mall video tutorial (2023 latest version)".

If you want to understand the full mall project framework setup and gain the ability to independently build a project framework, scan the QR code to join the learning community.

The video series contains 30 episodes, about 10 hours in total, and is hosted on my Knowledge Planet.

The tutorial covers the mall project's architecture, business logic, technical highlights, and online deployment, providing a comprehensive, full‑stack Java technology stack experience.

Conclusion

Taking over a project from scratch can be challenging for those who have never built a framework, but having complete framework‑building experience makes it much simpler.
