JEE Analyzer - Data Access modelisation - 1.0

Extension ID

com.castsoftware.java.internal.grep

What’s new?

See Release Notes.

Description

This extension will deactivate two mechanisms currently provided by the com.castsoftware.jee external link extension:

  1. Java parametrization creating links to database items
  2. Creation of java dynamic links to database items

The first mechanism has been replaced by the various JEE Data Access technology support built into other extensions and is therefore redundant.

The second, Dynamic links, is well known for generating a significant number of false links to database items that need to be validated. The little value this was bringing is now largely covered by the many Data Access technology support built into other extensions.

In what situation should you install this extension?

This extension is automatically installed when onboarding a new application. It will not be installed for existing applications in order to avoid destabilizing existing results. The extension can be deleted if necessary.

Compatibility

Release Operating System Supported
v3/8.4.x Microsoft Windows / Linux ✅
v2/8.3.x Microsoft Windows ❌

Download and installation instructions

The extension will be automatically installed and upgraded whenever a new release of the extension is published.

What results can you expect?

This extension removes some links that are generated by features in the com.castsoftware.jee external link extension:

  • direct links from Java Methods, Constructors and Fields to database Tables, Views, Procedures and Functions
    • either created by JEE parametrization
    • or created as Dynamic links

They are replaced by JEE Data Access modelisation.
