Spring Boot Security

A demonstration project for implementing security features using Spring Boot. This repository showcases how to integrate Spring Security with a Java backend, including database authentication and web security configurations.

Key Features

• Spring Boot 2.7.x based project structure
• Spring Security integration for authentication and authorization
• JPA support for database operations
• MySQL database connectivity (runtime)
• Lombok for boilerplate code reduction
• Maven Wrapper for easy project setup
• Ready for further extension and real-world use

Requirements

• Java 11 or later
• Maven 3.6+
• MySQL server

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/kaif77/spring-boot-security.git
cd spring-boot-security

2. Configure the Database

Update your application.properties (typically placed in src/main/resources/) with your MySQL credentials and database information. For example:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_db
spring.datasource.username=your_username
spring.datasource.password=your_password
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

3. Build the Project

You can use the included Maven Wrapper for a consistent build experience:

./mvnw clean install

Or, if Maven is installed globally:

mvn clean install

4. Run the Application

./mvnw spring-boot:run

or

mvn spring-boot:run

The application will start on http://localhost:8080.

Testing

JUnit 5 and Spring Boot Test are included for writing and running tests.

./mvnw test
