A real estate listings application allows users to view and search for property listings using a web framework and a database. In this project, you will create a basic real estate listings application using Java.

Create a Basic Real Estate Listings Application

Requirements

• A way for users to browse and search for property listings
• A way to store and retrieve property listings data using a database
• A way to display property listings information to users using a web framework

Bonus

• Can you add a feature that allows users to save their favorite listings or searches?
• Can you add a feature that allows users to contact property agents or owners directly through the application?

Hint

For the real estate listings project, you can start by setting up a basic web server using a framework like Spring or Javalin. You can then implement a database to store and retrieve property listings data using a library like Hibernate or JDBC. To display the property listings information to users, you can use a template engine like Thymeleaf or Mustache. Here is some sample code to get you started with a Spring web server:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class RealEstateListingsApplication {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(RealEstateListingsApplication.class, args);
  }
}

This code creates a simple Spring app with a main class that runs the application. You can then build on this foundation by adding the database and template engine functionality.
