Event Registration System (Java)

A Java-based Event Registration System developed as a Microproject for Semester 3 (S3) of B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering, under the course Object-Oriented Programming using Java.

This application provides a simple GUI-based system for managing events, user registrations, and payments, supporting Student, Staff, and Admin roles.

🧩 Problem Statement

Managing event registrations manually can lead to inefficiencies, data inconsistency, and lack of proper tracking.
This project aims to provide a centralized event registration platform with clear role separation and database-backed storage.

---

🎯 Objectives

• Implement Object-Oriented Programming concepts using Java
• Design a role-based event registration system
• Enable event creation, update, and deletion by admins
• Allow users to view events, register, and confirm payments
• Integrate MySQL database connectivity using JDBC
• Build a user-friendly GUI using Java Swing

---

🏗️ System Overview

The system supports three main roles:

👤 User (Student / Staff)

• Login & Sign Up
• View available events
• View event details
• Register for events
• Confirm payment

🛠️ Admin

• Login as admin
• Add new events
• Update event details
• Delete events
• View all registered events

📐 UML Use Case Diagram

The UML Use Case Diagram illustrates:

• User authentication (Login)
• Event registration flow
• Admin event management
• Payment handling
• Invalid credential handling

🧠 OOP Concepts Used

• Classes & Objects
• Encapsulation
• Abstraction
• Separation of Concerns
• DAO (Data Access Object) pattern
• JDBC for database connectivity

---

🗄️ Database Design

• Database Name: event_reg
• Tables include:
  • Users
  • Events
  • Registrations
• Uses PreparedStatement to prevent SQL injection
• Date handling via java.sql.Date
