Kwwebappscan

kwwebappscan scans a directory for Web applications and creates a build specification.

Usage

kwwebappscan [options] <directory_to_scan> <output_build_specification_file>

where

  • [options] are any of the options from the table below. If no options are specified, kwwebappscan uses the Apache Tomcat 8.5.81 application server packaged with Klocwork.
  • <directory_to_scan> is the directory containing Web applications
  • <output_build_specification_file> is the name for the output build specification file

Example

Apache Tomcat 8 is installed at C:\test\tomcat_8.5.81, and the webgoat.war file has been unpacked to C:\test\webgoat.war.unpacked. The following command creates a build specification for the unpacked webgoat:

kwwebappscan --appserver-name tomcat_8_5 --appserver-location C:\test\tomcat_8.5.81 C:\test\webgoat.war.unpacked buildspec1.out
