Error description

  • When scanning a java application, which uses the Springs
    Framework, an 'uncaught exception' occurs in the framework
    within a framework piece of AppScan Source.
    
    These same applications worked fine in Ounce 6.1 where the
    Framework within a framework feature did not exist.
    
    From the logs:
    
    01/15/11 15:02:19 Error(30082) from Log4jLogger.cpp(138)
    2011-01-15 15:02:18,751 FATAL
    com.ibm.wala.taint.util.logging.TaintLogger
    com.ibm.appscan.frameworks.FrameworksCLI.runMain(FrameworksCLI.j
    ava:43)
    uncaught exception
    
    01/15/11 15:02:19 Info(10125) from AssessmentTask.cpp(200)
    Scan Message: 2011-01-15 15:02:18,751 FATAL
    com.ibm.wala.taint.util.logging.TaintLogger
    com.ibm.appscan.frameworks.FrameworksCLI.runMain(FrameworksCLI.j
    ava:43)
    uncaught exception
    
    Looking at the ?project_name?_frameworksCLI_wafl.log (which is
    in the same directory as the project's .ppf file), the problem
    appears to be with the Framework wafl generator.

    resulted in an uncaught exception error.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Changes have been implemented so that when scanning an
    application that uses the Springs Framework, the scan
    finishes successfully without an uncaught exception error.
