Structural rules
The vast majority of rules provided for the JEE Analyzer are embedded in CAST AIP - see JEE - Structural rules for more information. In addition, some rules are also provided with the extension:
Quality Rules
Avoid static field of type collection (7562)
When calculating a snapshot for applicationusing JSE 5.0, the Quality Rule “Avoid static field of type collection (7562)” does not list as “Very High Risk Objects” classes that are or inherit from a Generic collection. The Quality Rule lists only the non generic form of collections. For example static attributes of type java.util.Collection<E> will not be reported as a violation.
Persistence: Avoid table and column names that are too long (portability) (7706)
Situation:
- JEE application using the Java Persistence API (JPA), e.g. in the form of Hibernate.
- A table or column name is not specified in the annotations of the JPA entity.
Symptoms: The JPA entity is not listed as a “Very High Risk” object in the results.
No link bookmarks generated
When Java Methods are defined inside a JSP file, no link bookmarks are generated (bookmarks can be seen in CAST Enlighten or in the Dynamic Link Manager). Example of a Java Method defined in a JSP file:
<%@ page language="Java" %>
<%!
public void myMethod(String message)
{ System.out.println(message); }
%>
