How To Create Library Management System Project in Java?

What is Java?

Java is an object-oriented language similar to C++, but with advanced and simplified features. Java is free to access and can run on all platforms.

The features of Java are as follows:

• Simple: Java has made life easier by removing all the complexities such as pointers, operator overloading as you see in C++ or any other programming language.
• Object-oriented: Everything is considered to be an “object” which possess some state, behavior and all the operations are performed using these objects. 
• Secured: All the code is converted in bytecode after compilation, which is not readable by a human. and java does not use an explicit pointer and run the programs inside the sandbox to prevent any activities from untrusted sources. It enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free systems/applications.

What is MySQL?

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system that works on many platforms. It provides multi-user access to support many storage engines and is backed by Oracle. So, you can buy a commercial license version from Oracle to get premium support services.

The features of MySQL are as follows:

• Ease of Management – The software very easily gets downloaded and also uses an event scheduler to schedule the tasks automatically.
• Robust Transactional Support – Holds the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) property, and also allows distributed multi-version support. 
• Comprehensive Application Development – MySQL has plugin libraries to embed the database into any application. It also supports stored procedures, triggers, functions, views and many more for application development. Refer to RDS Tutorial to understand Amazon’s RDBMS. 

Library Management System Project in Java

Library Management System is one of the most popular projects which is created using Java. So, in this article, I will show you how to create this project using the following system requirements.

System Requirements

To execute the below project, you will need the following business requirements:

• MySQL Community Server
• MySQL JDBC Connector
• Java
• Eclipse IDE
• rs2xml.jar

The rs2xml jar is used to display the data in a table format. So, once you create a project in Eclipse IDE, you have to import the rs2xml jar and JDBC connector JAR into the project.

To do that, right-click on the project, choose Build Path -> Configure Build Path. In the dialog box, which opens up, choose Add External JARs, and add the JAR files. Once added, click on Apply and Close. Refer below.

Tables Considered

Now, for this particular project, I have considered three tables, which are:

• Users -> This table consists of the columns {UID, Username, Password, Admin}
• Books-> The book’s table consists of the columns {BID, Book name, Price, Genre}
• Issue -> This table consists of the columns {IID, UID, BID, IssueDate, Period, ReturnDate, Fine}

Alright, so now that the Initial set is done, and I have told you the schema of tables, let us get started.

Library Management System Project Code

For your better understanding, I have divided the code into the following functions and I will be explaining you function-wise:

• Login
• Connect
• Create/ Reset
• User Menu
• Admin Menu

Also, to create a GUI, I will be using Swing. Swing is a library or a set of program components used to create graphical user interface components such as scroll bars, buttons, dialog boxes, etc.

Before I discuss the code of functions with you, let me show you the code for the main class and the libraries to be imported:

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.sql.*;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import javax.swing.*;
import net.proteanit.sql.DbUtils;

public class main {
	
	public static class ex{
		public static int days=0;
			}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		login();
		//create();
	}

Now in this article on Library Management System in Java, let us understand the code of all the above functions.

Login

I have created this function to enable the user and the admin login. So, initially when a user logs in for the first time, that user will be an admin by default, and the username and password will be {admin, admin}. Refer below.

For this schema, I have considered only one admin. So, once a user logs in as an admin, he or she will be redirected to the admin menu as below. I will discuss the functions of the admin in the admin menu section.

Coming back to the login functions, refer to the below code:

public static void login() {
	
	JFrame f=new JFrame("Login");//creating instance of JFrame  
	JLabel l1,l2;  
    l1=new JLabel("Username");  //Create label Username
    l1.setBounds(30,15, 100,30); //x axis, y axis, width, height 
    
    l2=new JLabel("Password");  //Create label Password
    l2.setBounds(30,50, 100,30); 	
	
	JTextField F_user = new JTextField(); //Create text field for username
	F_user.setBounds(110, 15, 200, 30);
		
	JPasswordField F_pass=new JPasswordField(); //Create text field for password
	F_pass.setBounds(110, 50, 200, 30);
	  
	JButton login_but=new JButton("Login");//creating instance of JButton for Login Button
	login_but.setBounds(130,90,80,25);//Dimensions for button
	login_but.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {  //Perform action
		
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ 

		String username = F_user.getText(); //Store username entered by the user in the variable "username"
		String password = F_pass.getText(); //Store password entered by the user in the variable "password"
		
		if(username.equals("")) //If username is null
		{
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Please enter username"); //Display dialog box with the message
		} 
		else if(password.equals("")) //If password is null
		{
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Please enter password"); //Display dialog box with the message
		}
		else { //If both the fields are present then to login the user, check wether the user exists already
			//System.out.println("Login connect");
			Connection connection=connect();  //Connect to the database
			try
			{
			Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
		      stmt.executeUpdate("USE LIBRARY"); //Use the database with the name "Library"
		      String st = ("SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME='"+username+"' AND PASSWORD='"+password+"'"); //Retreive username and passwords from users
		      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(st); //Execute query
		      if(rs.next()==false) { //Move pointer below
		    	  System.out.print("No user");  
		          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Wrong Username/Password!"); //Display Message

		      }
		      else {
		    	  f.dispose();
		    	rs.beforeFirst();  //Move the pointer above
		    	while(rs.next())
		    	{
		    	  String admin = rs.getString("ADMIN"); //user is admin
		    	  //System.out.println(admin);
		    	  String UID = rs.getString("UID"); //Get user ID of the user
		    	  if(admin.equals("1")) { //If boolean value 1
		    		  admin_menu(); //redirect to admin menu
		    	  }
		    	  else{
		    		  user_menu(UID); //redirect to user menu for that user ID
		    	  }
		      }
		      }
			}
			catch (Exception ex) {
		         ex.printStackTrace();
		}
		}
	}				
	});

	
	f.add(F_pass); //add password
	f.add(login_but);//adding button in JFrame  
	f.add(F_user);	//add user
    f.add(l1);  // add label1 i.e. for username
    f.add(l2); // add label2 i.e. for password
    
	f.setSize(400,180);//400 width and 500 height  
	f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers  
	f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible 
	f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
	
}

Connect

The connect function is used to connect the database to the GUI. So, to do that, I have mentioned the below code:

public static Connection connect()
{
try {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
        //System.out.println("Loaded driver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/mysql?user=root&password=edureka");
        //System.out.println("Connected to MySQL");
        return con;
 } 
 catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
 }
return null;
}

In the above function, we are connecting our MySQL database with the username “root” and password “edureka” to our application. Now, once the application is connected to the database, our next step is to create or reset the database. So, next in this article on Library Management System Project in Java, let us discuss the Create function..

Create

The create function is used to create the database, tables and add data into these tables. So, to do that, SQL statements will be used as below.

public static void create() {
	try {
	Connection connection=connect();
	ResultSet resultSet = connection.getMetaData().getCatalogs();
	//iterate each catalog in the ResultSet
		while (resultSet.next()) {
		  // Get the database name, which is at position 1
		  String databaseName = resultSet.getString(1);
		  if(databaseName.equals("library")) {
			  //System.out.print("yes");
			  Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
		      //Drop database if it pre-exists to reset the complete database
		      String sql = "DROP DATABASE library";
		      stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
		  }
		}
		  Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
	      
	      String sql = "CREATE DATABASE LIBRARY"; //Create Database
	      stmt.executeUpdate(sql); 
	      stmt.executeUpdate("USE LIBRARY"); //Use Database
		  //Create Users Table
	      String sql1 = "CREATE TABLE USERS(UID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, USERNAME VARCHAR(30), PASSWORD VARCHAR(30), ADMIN BOOLEAN)";
	      stmt.executeUpdate(sql1);
		  //Insert into users table
	      stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO USERS(USERNAME, PASSWORD, ADMIN) VALUES('admin','admin',TRUE)");
		  //Create Books table
	      stmt.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE BOOKS(BID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, BNAME VARCHAR(50), GENRE VARCHAR(20), PRICE INT)");
		  //Create Issued Table
	      stmt.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE ISSUED(IID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, UID INT, BID INT, ISSUED_DATE VARCHAR(20), RETURN_DATE VARCHAR(20), PERIOD INT, FINE INT)");
		  //Insert into books table
	      stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO BOOKS(BNAME, GENRE, PRICE) VALUES ('War and Peace', 'Mystery', 200),  ('The Guest Book', 'Fiction', 300), ('The Perfect Murder','Mystery', 150), ('Accidental Presidents', 'Biography', 250), ('The Wicked King','Fiction', 350)");
	      
	resultSet.close();
	}
	 catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

Now, that we have created the database, connected with GUI and enables the login function, next in this article on Library Management System Project in Java, let us now discuss the functions of the User Menu.

User Menu

The User Menu is designed to show details of all the books present in the library and the books issued by the user.

public static void user_menu(String UID) {
	
	
	JFrame f=new JFrame("User Functions"); //Give dialog box name as User functions
    //f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //Exit user menu on closing the dialog box
	JButton view_but=new JButton("View Books");//creating instance of JButton  
	view_but.setBounds(20,20,120,25);//x axis, y axis, width, height 
	view_but.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { 
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
			
		    JFrame f = new JFrame("Books Available"); //View books stored in database
		    //f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		    
		    
			Connection connection = connect();
			String sql="select * from BOOKS"; //Retreive data from database
	        try {
	        	Statement stmt = connection.createStatement(); //connect to database
			     stmt.executeUpdate("USE LIBRARY"); // use librabry
	            stmt=connection.createStatement();
	            ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(sql);
	            JTable book_list= new JTable(); //show data in table format
	            book_list.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs)); 
	             
	            JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(book_list); //enable scroll bar

	            f.add(scrollPane); //add scroll bar
	            f.setSize(800, 400); //set dimensions of view books frame
	            f.setVisible(true);
	        	f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
	        } catch (SQLException e1) {
	            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
	             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e1);
	        }   			
			
	}
	}
	);
	
	JButton my_book=new JButton("My Books");//creating instance of JButton  
	my_book.setBounds(150,20,120,25);//x axis, y axis, width, height 
	my_book.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { //Perform action
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
			
			  
			JFrame f = new JFrame("My Books"); //View books issued by user
		    //f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
			int UID_int = Integer.parseInt(UID); //Pass user ID

		    //.iid,issued.uid,issued.bid,issued.issued_date,issued.return_date,issued,
			Connection connection = connect(); //connect to database
			//retrieve data
			String sql="select distinct issued.*,books.bname,books.genre,books.price from issued,books " + "where ((issued.uid=" + UID_int + ") and (books.bid in (select bid from issued where issued.uid="+UID_int+"))) group by iid";
			String sql1 = "select bid from issued where uid="+UID_int;
	        try {
	        	Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
				//use database
			     stmt.executeUpdate("USE LIBRARY");
	            stmt=connection.createStatement();
				//store in array
	            ArrayList books_list = new ArrayList();
 
	           
	            
	            ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(sql);
	            JTable book_list= new JTable(); //store data in table format
	            book_list.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs)); 
	            //enable scroll bar
	            JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(book_list);

	            f.add(scrollPane); //add scroll bar
	            f.setSize(800, 400); //set dimensions of my books frame
	            f.setVisible(true);
	        	f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
	        } catch (SQLException e1) {
	            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
	             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e1);
	        }   			
				
	}
	}
	);
	
	
	
	f.add(my_book); //add my books
	f.add(view_but); // add view books
	f.setSize(300,100);//400 width and 500 height  
	f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers  
	f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible 
	f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
	}

Next, in this article on Library Management System Project in Java, let us discuss the code for Admin Menu function.

public static void admin_menu() {

Now that you have understood all the functions, let us execute our library management system project in Java and see the outputs.

Output:

Execute the application by clicking on the run button. Once, you execute you will see the below dialog box. In the below dialog box, mention username and password as {admin, admin}. Then click on the Login button.

Once you click on the Login button, you will see the below dialog box opening up.

Here you have various options which you can explore. So, let us start with the first one:

View Books

Once, you click on View Books button, you will see the below frame displaying all the books present in the database, with their details.

View Users

The View Users button is used to view the current users on the system. Since we just have only one user present i.e the admin, it will show you output as below:

Create/Reset

This functionality is used to create or reset a database. So, once you click on the button Create/Rest, you will see the below output:

Add User

To add a user, click on the option “Add User” and mention details such as username, password and choose the radio button user or admin. By default, it will be the user. Then, click on Create.

Once the user is created, you will see an output as below:

Now, again if you click on View Users button, you will see the below output:

Alright, so now that we have added a user. Let us say, that particular user wants to issue books. To do that, the user has to choose the option of Issue Book.

Issue Book

Suppose, if you are the user, once you click on the Issue Book button, you have to mention the Book ID, User ID, Period(Number of days for issuing the book), and the Issue Date as follows:

Then click on Submit. Once, you click on Submit, you will see the below dialog box:

Now, if you want to see the issued books details, you can use the View Issued Books functionality.

View Issued Books

Once you click on this button, you will see the following output:

Alright, so, now if the user logs in to the system, using the login function, as below:

Then the user will see the below User Menu.

Here, the user can view all the books in the database by using the View Books option and the books issued by the user in the My Books section as below:

Now, if you wish to return the book, then you have to choose the option of Return Book.

Return Book

Once, you click on the Return Book, mention the Issue ID and the return date as below. Then click on Return.

Then, you see a message box displaying the fine.

After that, you again see a dialog box, showing the message “Book Returned“. Refer below.

Now, if you click on the View Issued Books, you will see the below output:

Lastly, if you wish to add a book, you can use the option of Add Book.

Add Book

Click on the Add Book button, and mention the book name, genre and price. Then, click on the Submit button. Refer below.

You will see a dialog box displaying the below message:

Apart from this, you can also, see the added books in the View Books section as below:
