Spring and Obfucastor

[Anonymous]

Is there anyone know how to use Spring with obfuscated code?

Hi,

Hmm, I can't say I know off hand. If the obfuscator provides some utility to translate from real class names to obfuscated ones, that might help. It sounds like it may be high maintenance if the obfuscator bases the new class name on some hash of the number and names of fields and methods in a class. What obfuscator are you using? There maybe settings to make it more friendly to dependency injection techniques.

Hi,

I see in the user documentation for Dotfuscator (http://www.preemptive.com/products/dotfuscator/) that there are extensive options to control what gets obfuscated. It looks like it will let you exclude public methods, fields, and type names from being renamed as specified by a regular expression. Other obfuscation techniques can still be applied to the code base. I'm kinda curious so I requested an eval copy to play with.

Cheers,
Mark
