Hello,

I am writing with a little concern with regards to obfuscation... Allow me to ask these questions...

1. How do I handle the situation when my java files will be obfuscated and the mapping documents still contain the un-obfuscated names? I can't use obfuscated names in the hibernate xdoclet as I can't predict them...
2. Is there a way to obfuscate hibernate mapping documents as well?

Any tips or tricks much appreciated...

Thanks in advance,
Madhan.

Not as far as I know. Unless your obfuscator is clever enough to rename fully qualified resource names in non-class files (and your class name references are fully qualified!). I don't know if any obfuscators can do this.




Don't rename the classes that have references in resource files. Renaming class files is just one part of the obfuscation process - you can still obfuscate these classes using other means e.g. flow obfuscation. Of course this depends on which obfuscator you are using.

Thank you!
#1. Yes, I don't think any obfuscator could to do that.
#2. Thanks!

hello,


any suggestion which obfuscator both commercial and open source could handle the task if one decided to perform obfuscation through jar , where

individual class or client access are packaged as jar
In my opinion , one does not need to pay so much attention whether the mapping through POJO are obfuscated or not , it is the client programme that should deserve the attention, of course that include some of the user own self created jar library too so that the fruit of one's work would not be in wrong hand if one decided to make a living as programmer, who know you could be programme for military sensitive info.

Thanks
