Great clarification!
Since this is a web application, let’s refine the dependencies to ensure they
align with a Spring Boot web-based system:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.15.0</version>
</dependency>
Frontend Considerations
If you’re going full-stack with a React or Angular frontend, you may expose REST APIs via Spring
Boot Web and use CORS settings to allow connections.
Would you like an example Spring Boot project structure to help kick things off? 🚀
That’s great! Since this is a full-stack project, you’ll need dependencies for both the backend
(Spring Boot) and the frontend (React, Angular, or Vue). Here’s a refined list based on a Spring
Boot + React (or Angular) setup:
Backend (Spring Boot)
1. Spring Boot Web Starter – Handles REST APIs and web requests.
org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-web 3.1.0
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
2. Spring Boot Security – For authentication & role-based access.
org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-security 3.1.0
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
3. Spring Boot JPA & MySQL Driver – Database management.
org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-data-jpa 3.1.0 mysql mysql-connector-java 8.0.33
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>8.0.33</version>
</dependency>
4. Spring Boot Validation – Ensures correct input data.
org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-validation 3.1.0
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
5. Jackson Databind – Converts Java objects to JSON and vice versa.
com.fasterxml.jackson.core jackson-databind 2.15.0
<dependency>
<groupId>com.stripe</groupId>
<artifactId>stripe-java</artifactId>
<version>23.0.0</version>
</dependency>
6. Payment Gateway (Stripe, PayPal, J2Pay) – Example Stripe integration.
com.stripe stripe-java 23.0.0
<dependency>
<groupId>com.stripe</groupId>
<artifactId>stripe-java</artifactId>
<version>23.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Frontend (React or Angular)
For React:
Axios – Handles API requests.
npm install axios
React Router DOM – Enables navigation in React.
npm install react-router-dom
For Angular:
Angular HTTPClient – Handles API communication.
npm install @angular/common
Angular Forms – Helps with form validation.
npm install @angular/forms
Communication Between Frontend & Backend
Your frontend (React/Angular) will make API calls to the backend, which is why CORS settings in
Spring Boot are important:
@CrossOrigin(origins = "http://localhost:3000") // Adjust to match frontend URL
@RestController @RequestMapping("/api") public class RatesClearanceController { // API
endpoints here }
Would you like a basic project structure for both frontend and backend to help you get started?
