Social Network class hiearchy

[Aditya Bhasale]

Hello all,

I'm trying to build a social networking website in JSP & Servlets. I'm wondering what basic and advanced model classes I should include.
So I'm stuck at this step to implement my classes.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

That's a pretty early step to be stuck at.

I'm assuming you've used other social sites--what classes do you believe you'd need so far? In other words, how far have you gotten?

As with any other class modeling exercise, start with a list of the various things that will be a part of the model. I'll start the list with one, you continue:

Member

(Although... if we're talking a real-life social hierarchy, I don't want to play, 'cuz I'm always at the bottom :(

Before design, you probably want to think about requirements. What is a "social networking website" ? What does it do?

[David Newton]

It highlights how socially isolated I am. All we really need is a picture and a "0"--might not need any classes at all.

Thanks a lot for replies.

I have included some classes like

User/Member
Group/Community
Media
Profiles
Messages

I just need to know what other classes I could implement.

Also, please suggest me any presentation framework for the same.

You seem to be misunderstanding how things work. You do the work, we help. We do not do your work for you.

You *could* implement an essentially infinite number of classes--it depends on what you want or need to do. Without any actual requirements, it's impossible to help.

JSF, Spring MVC, Struts 2, plain Servlets/JSPs. You could use any framework. Without requirements or knowing what you want to learn, this question doesn't have much meaning.
