Task List

This is a for-fun project where I build a Java Server Application using Java 8.

This server exposes a REST API that allows for the creation of users and tasks associated with them. Tasks can be repeatable and the logic contained in the server will determine the next due date of repeatable tasks.

Authentication

This server uses basic authentication along with Sprint Security to separate tasks out by user. Basic authentication can be added in several ways.

1. Use a header containing the base64 encoded string of :

• Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
• where QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ== is the Base64 encoded credentials

2. Embed the credentials in the server URL

• https://user:passwd@www.server.com/index.html
• These credentials (and the URL) are encrypted over SSL

API

The REST API exposes the following endpoints.

---
