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); } 
%>
