How to check whether a framework is used by an application

The general approach to find out if a given framework is used by an application is :

Ask customer or refer to the documentation provided to the Cast AIP Administrator.
Scan the source code (with Notepad++ for instance) for imports of classes from the framework at the beginning of the source files.

In C#, the syntax is as follows : using com.framework.mypackage.myclass;

In Java, the syntax is as follows : import com.framework.mypackage.myclass;

Here is a chart of strings to look for in each supported framework :

Java frameworks :

Framework name	String to look for
Spring	import org.springframework.
Hibernate/JPA	import org.hibernate. import javax.persistence.
Struts	import org.apache.struts.
