What it is

newbee-mall is a complete, production-grade e-commerce platform built on Spring Boot 2.7.5 with Thymeleaf, MyBatis, and MySQL. It provides both a customer-facing storefront (homepage, product catalog, shopping cart, order management) and a full admin dashboard (product management, order processing, carousel management, user administration) — a fully functional online mall system designed for learning and enterprise deployment. Monolithic Spring Boot application with layered MVC structure: src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/controller/ separates admin, mall (customer), and common endpoints; service, dao, entity layers follow standard enterprise patterns. VOs in controller/vo/ decouple…

Start here

Open these first:

• src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/NewBeeMallApplication.java — Spring Boot application entry point; essential for understanding the application lifecycle and startup configuration.
• src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/config/NeeBeeMallWebMvcConfigurer.java — Web MVC configuration including interceptor registration; critical for understanding request interception and routing setup.
• src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/service/NewBeeMallOrderService.java — Core order service interface; defines contract for order processing, the most complex business logic in an e-commerce system.
• src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/dao/NewBeeMallOrderMapper.java — Order data access layer; critical for understanding persistence and SQL mapping conventions used throughout the codebase.
• src/main/java/ltd/newbee/mall/controller/common/NewBeeMallExceptionHandler.java — Global exception handler; essential for understanding error handling patterns and API response contracts.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/newbee-ltd/newbee-mall.git
cd newbee-mall
mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run

The application starts on the default Spring Boot port (8080). See docs/DEVELOPMENT.md for database setup and configuration details.

Daily commands:

After cloning and installing dependencies:

mvn spring-boot:run

Application listens on http://localhost:8080. Database connection configured via application.properties (not shown in file list; check src/main/resources/). Admin UI accessible post-login; storefront at root path.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Slowing — last commit 6mo ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 50% of recent commits
• GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• Database setup: The codebase assumes MySQL is configured (connection details in application.properties, not visible in file list — must check src/main/resources/). Session storage: Spring Session dependency…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
