Install the Java agent using Contrast

Log in to Contrast.

Select Add Agent in the header.

Select the Java agent in the drop-down menu, then select Download Agent. You may need to specify proxy authentication information required by your network before downloading the agent.

Substitute <YourContrastJarPath> with the path to your Contrast JAR and <AppName> with the name of your application. Then add a JVM parameter to install the Java agent. For example:

java -javaagent:<YourContrastJarPath> -jar <AppName>.jar

For more specific examples, select the particular technology you want to use.

Exercise your application by performing either manual or automated testing to ensure your application is functioning correctly with the agent installed. The sensors of the Contrast Java agent will gather information about the application’s security, architecture and libraries.

Verify that your server is registered in Contrast and reports an instance of your application. Select Servers in the header to view registered servers. Verify that your server is registered in this list.
