We study the application of the semiclassical coherent-state path-integral technique to the problem of scattering. A numerical method based on initial-value trajectories and their stability information is proposed to solve the root search for the complex trajectories that determine the semiclassical propagator. Very good agreement between the numerically exact quantum sind semiclassical results for the correlation function can be achieved for scattering from one-dimensional barrier as well as well-type potentials by using just one single complex trajectory at each time.
