+   - All CRUD operations validated
+
+5. **Production-Ready Code**
+   - Comprehensive documentation
+   - Proper error handling
+   - Clean code structure
+   - Following Spring Boot best practices
+
+## 🎓 Learning Points
+
+This implementation demonstrates:
+- Modern Spring Boot REST API development
+- JWT authentication and authorization

+
+## ✅ Implementation Complete
+
+The project is fully functional and ready for use. All requirements have been met:
+- ✅ Complete CRUD API implementation
+- ✅ JWT authentication integrated with Spring Security

+- ✓ Authorization (JWT Token)
+- ✓ CREATE - New product
+- ✓ READ - All products, by ID, search, by category
+- ✓ UPDATE - Existing product
+- ✓ DELETE - Product removal
+- ✓ Security - Unauthorized access protection
+

+```bash
+chmod +x quick-test.sh
+./quick-test.sh
+```
+
+### Manual Testing Examples
+
+1. **Login and save token:**
+```bash

+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin123"}' | \
+  grep -o '"token":"[^"]*' | cut -d'"' -f4)
+echo $TOKEN
+```
+
+2. **Get all products:**
+```bash
+curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/products \

+4. **Update a product:**
+```bash
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/products/1 \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Updated Product Name",
+    "description": "Updated description",
+    "price": 299.99,
+    "stock": 30,
+    "category": "Electronics"
+  }'
+```
+
+5. **Delete a product:**
+```bash
+curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/products/9 \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+```
+
+## H2 Database Console
+
+Access the H2 console at: `http://localhost:8080/h2-console`
+
+**Connection settings:**
+- JDBC URL: `jdbc:h2:mem:testdb`
+- Username: `sa`
+- Password: (leave empty)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The application can be configured in `src/main/resources/application.properties`:
+
+```properties
+# Server Configuration
+server.port=8080
+
+# H2 Database
+spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
+spring.datasource.username=sa
+spring.datasource.password=
+
+# JWT Configuration
+jwt.secret=MySecretKeyForJWTTokenGenerationAndValidationMustBeAtLeast256BitsLong
+jwt.expiration=86400000  # 24 hours in milliseconds
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+- **Stateless Sessions**: JWT-based authentication with stateless session management
+- **Password Encryption**: BCrypt password hashing
+- **Token Validation**: JWT tokens validated on every request
+- **Authorization**: Protected endpoints require valid JWT token
+- **CSRF Protection**: Disabled for REST API
+- **H2 Console Access**: Publicly accessible for development (disable in production)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The API returns appropriate HTTP status codes:
+- `200 OK` - Successful operation
+- `201 Created` - Resource created successfully
+- `401 Unauthorized` - Invalid or missing JWT token
+- `404 Not Found` - Resource not found
+- `500 Internal Server Error` - Server error
+
+## Development Notes
+
+### JWT Token
+- Tokens expire after 24 hours (configurable)
+- Tokens are stateless and contain user information
+- Each request validates the token signature
+
+### Database
+- H2 in-memory database is reset on application restart
+- Data is re-initialized on each startup
+- Use JPA configuration to switch to persistent database
+
+### Logging
+- Debug logging enabled for security and application packages
+- View detailed authentication flow in console logs
+
+## Production Considerations
+
+Before deploying to production:
+
+1. **Change JWT Secret**: Use a strong, randomly generated secret key
+2. **Use Persistent Database**: Replace H2 with PostgreSQL/MySQL
+3. **Disable H2 Console**: Set `spring.h2.console.enabled=false`
+4. **Configure HTTPS**: Enable SSL/TLS for secure communication
+5. **Adjust Token Expiration**: Set appropriate token lifetime
+6. **Add Rate Limiting**: Prevent brute force attacks
+7. **Implement Refresh Tokens**: For better token management
+8. **Add Input Validation**: Validate all user inputs
+9. **Configure CORS**: Set appropriate CORS policies
+10. **Add Monitoring**: Implement logging and monitoring solutions
+
+## License
+
+This is a demonstration project for educational purposes.
+
+## Author
+
+Developed as a Spring Boot REST API demonstration project with JWT authentication and CRUD operations.
