1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd web_based_music_store

2. Build the project:

   mvn clean install

   This will generate a web_based_music_store.war file in the target directory.

1. Create a MySQL database:

   CREATE DATABASE music_db;

2. Database Schema: The database schema is not included in the repository. You will need to create the necessary tables for users, artists, tracks, orders, etc. based on the DAO and model classes.

3. Configure the database connection: Open src/main/java/utils/DatabaseConnection.java and update the database URL, username, and password:

   private static String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/music_db?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC";
   private static String DB_USER = "your_db_username";
   private static String DB_PASSWORD = "your_db_password";

1. Deploy the WAR file: Copy the target/web_based_music_store.war file to the webapps directory of your Apache Tomcat installation.

2. Start Tomcat: Start the Apache Tomcat server. The application will be deployed and accessible at http://localhost:8080/web_based_music_store.
