LAPSE: Web Application Security Scanner for Java

  • Q: When I try to open LAPSE view, nothing happens. What should I do?
    A: Open the Error view in Eclipse and look for messages. See the next question.

  • Q: I am getting an error message about generics when opening a LAPSE view. What gives?
    A: Make sure your machine is configured to use Java 1.5. To do so, go into Eclipse Help|About|Configuration details and check what the -vm parameter refers to. Ensure that it's a 1.5 or later VM that is being referenced.

  • Q: No sources or sinks are shown. Why is that?
    A: Make sure you have at least one properly configured Java Web application project opened in Eclipse.

  • Q: The search for sources/sinks is taking to long. Can I terminate it?
    A: Sure; switch to the processes view in Eclipse and cancel the task.

  • Q: I really like LAPSE. Can I put a link to it on my site?
    A: Sure. Use the code below to get the following button: :
                  <a href="http://suif.stanford.edu/~livshits/work/lapse/"><img src="lapse-tested.png" BORDER=0></a>
                
    Make sure you download and save the button image first.

  • Q: Nothing happens when I look for sources/sinks. What should I do?
    A: Make sure that LAPSE is working propertly by testing it on a sample file first.
