 Defect Tracking System Tickets(s) & Overview:
  
 1. HDSO-4405 - VPFS Fortify Software Composition results update
  
  
 Problem:
 --------
  
 The framework upgrade to  Struts 2, contrary to what the name suggests, 
 is a not a continuation of Struts 1, but a new framework with a new 
 design paradigm.
 VPFS was developed in a way that relied heavily on the Struts framework 
 for the client-side data validation and error message reporting. The 
 plug-n-play approach would not work.
  
  
 Resolution:
 -----------
 Code has been completely refactored and application re-invented, leaving 
 the UI and business logic intact.  In addition, a patient lookup 
 dependency - PSL was upgraded to log4j2 API and the Struts 2 framework.
