Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for creating a data structure associated with a software application that is based on at least one framework. According to the method, source code and at least one configuration file of the software application is analyzed by at least one framework-specific processor so as to determine entry point information indicating entry points in the source code, request attribute access information indicating where attributes attached to a request data structure are read and written, and forward information indicating forwards performed by the software application. A data structure for a static analysis engine is created based on this information. The data structure includes a list of synthetic methods that model framework-related behavior of the software application, and a list of entry points indicating the synthetic methods and/or application methods of the software application that can be invoked by the framework.
