Event Management Platform

Overview

The Event Management Platform is a web application designed to help users create, manage, and RSVP to events. Built using Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) with JSP technologies, this application provides a user-friendly interface for event planning and coordination. Users can register, log in, create events, search for events, manage RSVPs, and handle event requests. The application ensures secure user authentication and data persistence using Spring Boot and JPA.

Features

• User Authentication: Secure registration and login system with password hashing using BCrypt.
• Event Management:
  • Create, update, and view events with details such as name, date, location, description, and event type.
  • Search events by name, date, location, and type.
• RSVP System:
  • Users can RSVP to events and specify the number of attendees.
  • Update RSVP status and attendee count.
• Event Requests:
  • Users can submit event requests, which can be accepted or rejected by managers.
  • Accepted requests are converted into events.
• Dashboard: A personalized dashboard for users to view their events and requests.
• Session Management: Secure session handling for user authentication and authorization.

Technologies Used

• Backend:
  • Java (JEE)
  • Spring Boot (for dependency injection, MVC, and application setup)
  • Spring Data JPA (for database operations)
  • BCrypt (for password hashing)
• Frontend:
  • JSP (JavaServer Pages) for dynamic web content
• Database:
  • JPA with Hibernate (for ORM and database interaction)
• Logging:
  • Java Util Logging (for application logging)
• Build Tool:
  • Maven (for dependency management and project build)
