This is the second in a two-part tutorial series on creating secure Java®-based Web applications using Rational® Application Developer, Data Studio and Rational AppScan. In Part 1 you developed a Java Web application with Rational Application Developer, and then deployed the application on WebSphere Application Server with Java Server Pages (JSP). This tutorial shows you how to scan the Wealth application created in Part 1 using Rational AppScan to discover and fix all known Web security vulnerabilities. It also shows how to re-scan your application and generate reports.

Prerequisites

You should complete Part 1 of this tutorial series.


System requirements

To complete the steps in this tutorial you need:

  • IBM Rational AppScan Standard Edition. A full or temporary Rational AppScan license. The downloaded trial version of Rational AppScan only allows the scan of a default Web site. It may be possible to obtain a temporary short term Rational AppScan license from your IBM Rational Sales contact.
