Struts application on Intranet

[sprateek]

Hello All,

I want to develop a web application in java struts. But unfortunately my client is saying me to install it on his intranet server. I dont now how can I protect my code. Anybody who knows basic java can get the code and decompile it and use it (And he do not need to do anything for JSPs ... ).

Please tell me how can I protect my code.

Regards,
Ron

You're being paranoid.

You can protect your code using obfuscators.

Here is link for free solutions:

Open Source Obfuscators in Java

If someone decompiles your bytecode (check online utilities for this!)
he can extract a lot of info about your code,
so be sure your obfuscator removes
all useful comments
and refactor all classes and methods to some meaningless
and long names that are hard to understand.

Once you obfuscate your code, decompile it to see result,
notice a lot of trash code with no functionality at all,
which obfuscator added to your src code just to make it harder to read.

good luck!

Still utterly pointless.
