Refactor `FormActiveController` to return JSON responses using `BooleanResponse`. Introduce exception handling for JSON processing errors and update `FormActiveData` to allow object initialization without parameters.
Renamed various classes to follow the "controlers" package structure for better organization and consistency. Added `ControllerExceptionHandler` to manage validation exceptions globally and improve error logging.
Updated form classes to return Optional URLs for Discord bot submissions. Refactored VerifyController to handle these Optionals and improved error handling when sending forms. Added receiver email method in form classes for more flexible form submissions.
Implemented getDiscordBotUrl in form classes for dynamic URL handling. Updated VerifyController to use this method for constructing Discord bot URIs. This enhances flexibility and maintainability in form submission handling.
Introduced Jackson dependencies to replace Gson for JSON processing. Updated application properties and controllers to handle Jackson-specific exceptions. Refactored form serialization to use Jackson's `ObjectMapper` for better date handling and consistency.
Introduced `@RestController` and `@RequestMapping` in `StaffAppController` for standardized API endpoints. Refactored properties file handling in `PropertiesLoader` and `PropertiesWriter` to simplify file creation logic.
Introduced `StaffAppController` and `StaffAppFormData` to handle staff application form submissions. The controller now stores user data, initiates email verification, and provides appropriate responses based on the verification outcome. Additionally, updated `application.properties` and cleaned up IntelliJ workspace.xml.
A new setup allows specifying database properties path using command-line arguments during startup. The `DatabaseConnection.initialize()` method signature has been updated to accept a path argument. Methods in `PropertiesLoader`, `PropertiesWriter`, and `MailSettings` classes, along with tests in the `TestForm` class, were adjusted accordingly.
A new configuration setup now allows specifying a path for database properties via command-line arguments during application startup. This update also changes the call signature for `DatabaseConnection.initialize()` method to accept a path argument. Similarly, methods in `PropertiesLoader`, `PropertiesWriter`, and `MailSettings` classes were also updated to use the specified path when working with properties files. The `TestForm` class's tests were updated accordingly to handle these changes.
The form-to-HTML output process has been switched from a `<div>` approach to using a `StringBuilder` with a table structure in `ContactFormData.java`. Also, the spring validation auto-configuration has been disabled by adding `exclude = ValidationAutoConfiguration.class` in the `@SpringBootApplication` annotation of `Main.java`. Some changes in `.idea/workspace.xml` and `VerifyController.java` were made as well.
