Hello Ian,

Thanks for reporting this. It has been a long time since I last saw such issues… There is obviously something strange, as there is a uncomon HUGE number of line differences between the actual file and position where the issue is attempted at being reported.

Could you provide an example of minimal code reproducing the issue (ideally without any external dependency)?
Without it, it will be extremely hard for us to identify the proper root cause, and eventually fix the rule or the semantic model.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I am not sure I can provide a minimal code example, definitely not a working one w/o dependencies. Any apps build upon the Oracle ATG ECommerce framework. I can discuss the request with the developer specialists.

I’ll note we have in the order of 1000 Java apps we scan and have not seen that problem on other apps, or even when we scanned this app previously (May have been a different scanner ver. then).

Are there any direct (non-public) means to submit code to review ?
