Task Management App

A Java-based task management web application built as a Semester 5 project. It helps users register, log in, and manage their daily tasks with a simple, structured interface.

Features

• User authentication: Register, log in, and log out securely.
• Task CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete tasks.
• Task attributes: Title, description, due date, status, and priority (depending on your current implementation).
• Session-based access: Only authenticated users can access their dashboard and tasks.
• Database-backed: Tasks and users are stored in a relational database via DAO classes.

Tech Stack

• Language: Java
• Framework: Java Servlet/JSP (Jakarta EE / Java EE style)
• Build tool: Maven (pom.xml in TaskManagementSystem)
• View layer: JSP pages (login.jsp, register.jsp, dashboard.jsp)
• Database: Relational DB with schema defined in schema.sql
• Server: Runs on a Java application server/servlet container (e.g., Apache Tomcat)

Project Structure

• TaskManagementSystem/src/main/java/com/taskmanager/model
  Contains entity classes like User and Task.

• TaskManagementSystem/src/main/java/com/taskmanager/dao
  Data Access Object classes (UserDAO, TaskDAO) that interact with the database.

• TaskManagementSystem/src/main/java/com/taskmanager/servlet
  Servlets for handling authentication and task operations (add, update, delete, etc.).

• TaskManagementSystem/src/main/java/com/taskmanager/util
  Utility classes such as DatabaseConnection and AuthenticationFilter.

• TaskManagementSystem/src/main/webapp
  JSP views (login.jsp, register.jsp, dashboard.jsp) and static assets (CSS).

• TaskManagementSystem/schema.sql
  SQL file used to create required tables and relationships.

Getting Started (Local Setup)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tushargautam681/task-management-app.git
   cd task-management-app

2. Import into IDE:

   • Open your Java IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, etc.).
   • Import TaskManagementSystem as a Maven project.

3. Configure database:

   • Create a database using the SQL in TaskManagementSystem/schema.sql.
   • Update database connection details in DatabaseConnection.java (URL, username, password).

4. Run on server:

   • Configure a servlet container (e.g., Apache Tomcat) in your IDE.
   • Deploy the TaskManagementSystem web module to the server.
   • Start the server and open the app in your browser (e.g., http://localhost:8080/TaskManagementSystem).

Usage

• Register a new account using the registration page.
• Log in with your credentials.
• Add tasks with title/description (and other fields if configured).
• Update or delete existing tasks from the dashboard.
• Log out to end the session.
