Action Plan
  1. Identify where the object is called: which file? In HTML tag or JSP Custom Tag? The resolution of the problem will depend on this and the type of the callee object.
    1. If the missing is from an html tag you should propose a reference finder.
    2. If the missing link is from a JSP custom tag the issue may come from different reasons.
      1. Check whether the TLD's are correctly defined in the header of the file.
      2. Check whether It has correctly been resolved by the analyzer.
      3. Check the cast-tags.extensions files if your tag is correctly handled.
      4. A reference finder may be a workaround.
  2. It is expected to not have links from JSP that calls action to JSP page and from Java method to JSP page.
  3. It is expected to not have links from Struts to JSP, otherwise it will reverse the transaction where we consider the entry point as the Front end (JSP) and exit point as the Back end (server method or database).The idea behind this modeling is to avoid loops between client/ server.
