Contact-Management-Application

This project involves the development of a contact management application using Spring Boot and a MariaDB database. The application enables users to store and manage contacts efficiently.

Contact Attributes

• ID
• Last Name
• First Name
• Phone 1 (personal number)
• Phone 2 (professional number)
• Address
• Personal Email
• Professional Email
• Gender (male or female)

Implemented Functionalities

• Create a new contact.
• Display the list of contacts in alphabetical order.
• Delete a contact.
• Modify a contact.
• Search for a contact by their last name.
• Search for a contact by their phone number (either personal or professional), and display their other information.
• Create groups. A group has a name (e.g., family, friends, etc.) and can consist of zero or more contacts.
• Delete a group. Deleting a group does not remove the associated contacts. Additionally, provide the ability to search for a group by its name.
• Automatically create groups consisting of contacts with the same last name.
• Enhance contact search by last name using phonetic search (utilize the SQL SOUNDEX function).
• Improve the search by name functionality to allow finding contacts even with minor spelling errors, using the String Edit Distance Algorithm.

Technologies used

• Spring Boot
• JSP
• JSTL
• CSS
