Gradebook

Gradebook is an online journal application developed using the Spring framework. It serves as a digital gradebook for school students. The application uses a PostgreSQL database and is deployed on the Weblogic web server.

Reasons for Development

This project was initially developed as a laboratory work during the Java development courses. Over time, it was further refined and expanded, eventually evolving into a Bachelor's thesis project.

Features

• User authentication: Students, teachers, and administrators can create accounts and log in to the application.
• Role-based access control: Different roles (student, teacher, administrator) have different permissions within the application.
• Administrator functionality:
  • Manage academic year, semester, subjects, and classes.
  • Add students to classes.
  • Assign roles to users.
  • Assign teachers to subjects for specific classes and semesters.
• Teacher functionality:
  • Add topics and lessons to subjects.
  • Grade students' assignments.
  • Mark attendance for students
• Student functionality:
  • View own grades for different subjects and assignments.

Technologies Used

Prerequisites

Before getting started with the Gradebook application, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.
• Apache Maven for building and managing dependencies.
• PostgreSQL database server installed and running.
• Weblogic web server set up and configured.
• A modern web browser to access the application.

Getting Started

To get a local copy of the Gradebook application up and running, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/marharita08/Gradebook.
2. Create database for the application.
3. Configure src/main/resources/datasource.properties with following properties:

Property	Description
domain.name	The name of the domain where the application is deployed
admin.username	The username for accessing the administration console
admin.password	The password for accessing the administration console
admin.url	The URL of the administration console
app.name	The name of the application
datasource.name	The name of the datasource
datasource.database.name	The name of the database associated with the datasource
datasource.target	The target server or cluster for the datasource
datasource.filename	The name of the configuration file for the datasource
datasource.jndiname	The JNDI name for the datasource
datasource.driver.class	The fully qualified class name of the datasource driver
datasource.url	The URL for connecting to the database
datasource.username	The username for accessing the database
datasource.password	The password for accessing the database
datasource.test.query	The SQL query used to test the database connection

4. Run build.cmd or ./build.sh depending on your OS.
5. Download JDBC Driver for PostgreSQL. Place driver into domain_name/lib folder (by default base_domain/lib).
6. Start Weblogic.
7. Run initDataSource.cmd or ./initDataSource.sh.
8. Run deploy.cmd or ./deploy.sh.
9. Access the application in your web browser at http://localhost:7001/Gradebook.
