Web-application obfuscation issues
What are the issues in obfuscating the java classes of
my web-application? I should retain the names of the
classes refered in the web.xml, is that all or
anything else?
thank you

If you wish to make quality assurance harder - you are free to do so. If
you are distributing binary only - anyone with enough vested interest
will successfully decompile your code. And if that is the case - then a
really bad design might be the best counter attack ;)

Hi !
>From who do you want to hide your code ?
If you want to hide it to the client (=browser), there's no need to
obfuscate your classes. All your classes or lib are under "/WEB-INF"
directory, a compliant HTTP server shouldn't allow to see them.
If you want to hide to the server administrator, obfuscation is a way. But
as someone ever said, anyone who really want to see the code will succeed
(with more or less pain).
Regards,
Cédric
