Framework for Frameworks handling APIs
AppScan® Source provides a set of Java™ APIs that allow you to add support for frameworks that are used in your applications. The classes and methods offered in these APIs allow you to account for frameworks for which built-in support is not provided.
Using the Framework for Frameworks APIs
This section highlights the steps that are required when using the Framework for Frameworks APIs. Where appropriate, these steps will be related to the provided example, allowing you to follow along.
Creating a manifest file for your handler
Create a file named Manifest.txt to contain the information needed for your JAR's manifest when it is exported. Specifically, AppScan® Source will look for the Framework-Handler entry when loading your handler JAR to determine which class contains the F4FHandler functionality.

Creating a manifest file for your handler

Create a file named Manifest.txt to contain the information needed for your JAR's manifest when it is exported. Specifically, AppScan® Source will look for the Framework-Handler entry when loading your handler JAR to determine which class contains the F4FHandler functionality.

Place these two lines in the Manifest.txt file:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Framework-Handler: package.HandlerClassName

Where package.HandlerClassName is the full package and class name for your class that implements the F4FHandler interface.

Observe in the example: Manifest.txt contains the information that will be placed in the Ejb2xHandler's JAR file manifest when it is created. There are only two lines, one listing the version and the other specifying the framework handling class, Framework-Handler: com.ibm.appscan.frameworks.highlevelapi.ejb2xhandler.Ejb2xHandler.
