Enables small business owners to apply for a Three Rivers Bank credit card entirely online. Adds a multi-step application form, backend persistence with encrypted sensitive fields, and "Apply Now" entry points on card listing and detail pages.

Backend

  • New entity BusinessCreditCardApplication — stores all application fields; SSN and Tax ID columns sized for AES-encrypted Base64 output
  • POST /api/applications — validates input (Spring @Valid), enforces rate limit (3/day per IP), validates applicant age (18+), encrypts SSN/Tax ID with AES-128/CBC + random IV before persistence, returns application ID and decision timeline
  • Encryption key injected via ${APPLICATION_ENCRYPTION_KEY} (falls back to dev default); key bytes normalized to 16 bytes with UTF-8 charset
// AES/CBC with per-record random IV; IV prepended to ciphertext for storage
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, keySpec, new IvParameterSpec(iv));
byte[] ivAndCiphertext = new byte[16 + encrypted.length];
System.arraycopy(iv, 0, ivAndCiphertext, 0, 16);
System.arraycopy(encrypted, 0, ivAndCiphertext, 16, encrypted.length);
return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(ivAndCiphertext);

Frontend

  • /apply/:cardIdApplicationFormPage: 5-step wizard (Business Info → Personal Info → Card Preferences → Terms & Conditions → Review)
    • React Hook Form + Yup; real-time field validation, required-field indicators
    • Progress bar tracks completed steps
    • Auto-saves to localStorage every 30s; SSN, Tax ID, and DOB are explicitly excluded from persistence
    • Review step masks sensitive fields (***-**-1234); "Edit" links jump back to specific steps
  • /apply/:cardId/confirmationApplicationConfirmationPage: shows reference number, decision timeline ("5–7 business days"), print summary button
  • "Apply Now" buttons wired on CardDetailsPage and CardComparisonPage (both grid and table views)
  • applicationService.submitApplication() added to api.js

Security notes

  • ECB mode avoided; CBC with random IV used instead
  • Sensitive PII not stored in localStorage
  • X-Forwarded-For used for IP rate limiting — assumes trusted reverse proxy in deployment

Pull request overview

Adds an end-to-end online business credit card application flow to the Three Rivers Bank demo: new “Apply Now” entry points in the UI, a multi-step application wizard + confirmation screen, and a backend POST /api/applications endpoint that persists applications while encrypting sensitive fields.

Changes:

  • Frontend: Adds /apply/:cardId wizard and /apply/:cardId/confirmation, plus “Apply Now” buttons from card detail/comparison pages and a submit API helper.
  • Backend: Introduces BusinessCreditCardApplication persistence model, repository, service logic (validation + rate limiting + encryption), and controller endpoint.
  • Config/deps: Adds encryption key config and frontend form/validation dependencies (react-hook-form/yup).
