🎬 Movie Database Management System

A JavaFX-based Client-Server Movie Database Management System built for BUET CSE 108 (Object Oriented Programming Lab).

📖 Overview

This application allows production companies to manage their movie portfolios through a graphical user interface. It features a multi-threaded server that handles multiple clients simultaneously, with real-time synchronization of movie data.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 21 or higher
• Gradle 8.5 or higher (wrapper included)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/mninadmnobo/Movie-DataBase-Management-JavaFX.git
   cd Movie-DataBase-Management-JavaFX

2. Build the project

   # Build Server
   cd MovieDatabaseServer
   ./gradlew build
   
   # Build Client
   cd ../MovieDatabaseClient
   ./gradlew build

Running the Application

⚠️ Important: Always start the server before launching any clients!

1. Start the Server

   cd MovieDatabaseServer
   ./gradlew run

   The server will start listening on localhost:8080

2. Start the Client (in a new terminal)

   cd MovieDatabaseClient
   ./gradlew run

3. Login with a production company name:

   • Pixar Animation Studios
   • Walt Disney Pictures
   • Miramax Films
   • Paramount Pictures
   • Or any company from the database
