How to exclude framework related JAR files from search in XML based rule

[bahmed2019]

Hi All,

Back Ground

I have a created following simple XML based ruleset, and ran it against a spring boot application, using rhamt-cli.

Based on the below custom XML rule, the tool is picking up all the resource files containing "www" and generating report.

<rule id="CG_rules_001" xmlns="http://windup.jboss.org/schema/jboss-ruleset">

     <when>

           <filecontent pattern="www"/>

    </when>

   <perform>

           <hint category-id="mandatory" effort="3" title="Application file with hardcoded Web URLS (www)">

                            <message> These files contain hardcoded web urls that are needed to be look after for successful migration

          </message> </hint>

   </perform>

</rule>

Issue

The generated report contains lot of files from framework specific jars, matching this criteria. I would like to reduce the noise in the output report, and exclude all the frameworks related JARs (Spring, Spring boot, Log4J) from the search.

Any idea or suggestion ?

Thanks

Hi, you can look at Rules Development Guide Red Hat Application Migration Toolkit 4.2 | Red Hat Customer Portal  and try to use other attributes to filter more the files with the pattern you have.

First you can limit by file name or just create nested conditions to have more complex query.

Thanks Marek,

I am able to exclude packages, files and even complete folder from scanning, by reading the below linked section in online documentation.
