StudentTeamManagement-JavaFx-SpringBoot

A student team management system using a decoupled architecture:

• Backend: Spring Boot REST API (Maven-based)
• Frontend: JavaFX Desktop Application (Maven-based, MVC pattern)

This project demonstrates how a JavaFX client application communicates with a Spring Boot server to manage students, teams, and their assignments efficiently.

🚀 Getting Started

📝 Pre-requisites:

• JDK 17+ (ensure same version for both backend and frontend)
• Maven 3.6+
• Internet connection (for Maven to download dependencies)
• JavaFX SDK (only needed for frontend-javafx if not using a bundled JDK)

---

1️⃣ Start the Spring Boot Backend

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the backend project directory:

   cd SpringServerBackend

2. Build and run the Spring Boot server:

   mvn spring-boot:run

3. The server should start on http://localhost:8080 (default port).

---

2️⃣ Start the JavaFX Frontend

1. Open a new terminal and navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd teamapp

2. Build and run the JavaFX app:

   mvn clean javafx:run

   🛠️ If you face JavaFX module issues, make sure your IDE is configured to use the correct JavaFX SDK and module-info.java is set up properly.

3. The application should open a GUI window and connect to the backend.

📦 Maven Notes

Backend - Spring Boot

• Uses standard Maven structure
• All dependencies are managed via pom.xml
• Controllers expose RESTful APIs for:
  • Student Management
  • Team Management
  • Assignments and Relations

Frontend - JavaFX

• Follows MVC structure
• Communicates with Spring Boot backend via HttpURLConnection or preferred REST client (like HttpClient)
• Requires javafx.controls, javafx.fxml, etc., in pom.xml

---

🧪 API Example (Spring Boot)

Example to test backend manually:

curl http://localhost:8080/api/students

---

🧰 Technologies Used

• Java 17+
• JavaFX 17+ (FXML + Controllers)
• Spring Boot 3.x
• Maven
• REST API (JSON communication)
• h2

---

📌 Tips

• Always start the Spring Boot server first, then the JavaFX app.
• If using IDEs like IntelliJ, ensure you set up:
  • JavaFX VM options in Run Configuration
  • Correct project SDK and language level
