Transfer

Spring Boot based mock money transfer site. Case Study for Per Scholas.

Objective: Create an online webpage that allows users to register, login, add friends, create transfer between users, view transaction receipts, and withdraw funds.

Technologies Used

• HTML
• CSS
• JSP
• JavaScript
• Java 8 EE
• Spring Boot / Spring MVC / Spring JPA
• JUNIT / Mockito

Challenges

• Creating different tables for User Information to try to avoid exposing them to the front end. (e.g. UserLogin information will never be sent to front, just UserInformation)
• Transactions table refused to add both sender and receiver to the table, needed to create a different table for each.

Still To Do

• Encrypted Login details with Spring Security
• Ability to Delete your account
• Ability to Search transactions
• Ability to request money from other users
• Rework front end to be more appealing (things not centered etc)
• Admin page to manage accounts and transactions
• A form to add money to account from bank account/debit card, not just a button
• Refactor project to be better organized
