Framework for Frameworks handling APIs
AppScan® Source provides a set of Java™ APIs that allow you to add support for frameworks that are used in your applications. The classes and methods offered in these APIs allow you to account for frameworks for which built-in support is not provided.

Main Framework for Frameworks API components

`F4FHandler`

F4FHandler is the abstract class that all new framework handlers must extend. It enforces the workflow of a framework handler through abstract methods that must be overridden. It also provides access to the other two API components, F4FApp and F4FAction.

`F4FApp`

Provides information about the application being scanned, including information from its configuration (such as source roots and web root). This component also provides access to every class in the application for the purpose of determining necessary information, such as annotations and superclass.

`F4FAction`

Provides information to AppScan® Source about the application being scanned. Entry points, connections between abstract methods and their implementations, and more can be described to the scanning engine by calling the methods provided in this API.
