Expenses Tracker Web Application -

Project Report
Abstract
The Expenses Tracker Web Application is a financial management tool built using the
Spring Boot framework. It enables users to securely track, manage, and analyze their
personal expenses with features such as user authentication, CRUD operations, and data
filtering. This project leverages modern Java technologies including Spring Security, Spring
Data JPA, Thymeleaf, and MySQL, providing a responsive and secure web interface for
streamlined expense tracking.

Introduction
Managing finances effectively is a critical skill in personal and professional contexts. The
Expenses Tracker WebApp aims to simplify this process by providing users with a secure,
user-friendly platform to log, monitor, and manage their daily expenses. It is built using Java
and the Spring ecosystem, offering scalable backend services and a responsive UI developed
with Thymeleaf and Bootstrap.

System Architecture
The application follows a Spring MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture:

- Model: Represents the data layer using JPA entities.

- View: Web interface created using Thymeleaf and styled with Bootstrap.

- Controller: Handles HTTP requests, business logic, and interaction between Model and
View.

- Database: MySQL used for persistent storage.

- Security: Spring Security enforces authentication and role-based access control.

Components and Explanation


1. Spring Boot: Core framework for building the app.

2. Spring MVC: Handles web requests and maps them to controller logic.

3. Spring Security: Implements login, signup, and authorization mechanisms.

4. Spring Data JPA: Simplifies database interactions via repositories.


5. MySQL: Stores user and expense data.

6. Thymeleaf: Templating engine for rendering dynamic HTML.

7. Bootstrap: CSS framework for responsive and modern design.

Working Modules
- User Module: Registration, login, logout. Role-based access control.

- Expense Module: Add, view, edit, delete expenses.

- Filtering Module: Filter expenses by category, date, or amount.

- Database Integration: MySQL with predefined schema via setup_database.sql.

Results
Upon launching the application:

- Users can register and log in.

- Authenticated users access a dashboard showing tracked expenses.

- CRUD functions operate as expected.

- Filtering provides insights into spending patterns.

- Web UI is responsive and user-friendly.

Conclusion
This project successfully demonstrates how a Java-based web application can provide
secure, efficient expense tracking. By integrating Spring Boot with a robust tech stack, the
application achieves its goals of simplicity, security, and usability. It also showcases the
practical use of MVC architecture and relational databases in real-world applications.

Future Directions
