Hi,

Incase I would want to use Hibernate and also explore obfuscation, it may not work, since the mapping of the class name to the *.hbm.xml would fail. Do i have anyothe option's?

Kindly suggest.

Thanks
Gyanesh

Well, configure your obfuscator not to change the class and method names of your data model objects.

What if I would want the Model names to be obfuscated as well?

Well, you are out of luck, doing this brakes reflection. Perhaps you could use access=field if you want.

Thanks. I was just wondering of there was any other way that could have avoided *.hmb.xml. BUt I guess I need to avoid obfuscating the needed
classes. Thanks!

Try the EJB3 annotations instead of hbm files but I'm not sure your obfuscator handle the JDK 5.0

Hi,

I have JDK5.0 running and Hibernate 3.0beta1 in as well. I did not see any
documentation / help / samples that helps be use the new EJB3 Annotations.

I have seen a few forums where they have mentioned that they have
sucessfully demonstrated this capability. Anyone have tried it?

Thanks
