Hey mike,

Thanks for the script. But when i saw the obfuscated war file, the jsps are all unobfuscated.

Thanks

Thanks

Please ignore my previous comment. I realised that i needed to specify the created jar or classes within the fileset of internal libraries to be obfuscated.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

thanks for this really useful script. I was struggling with obfuscation and this script has helped. However my class files are not being obfuscated. If I decompile the classes in webapp.jar they are as before.

Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

@Sergey, I don't know, perhaps someone else visiting my blog will be able to help you. You might also consider contacting yWorks.

Hi Mike,
How does yGuard obfuscate your jsp files?

I’ve tried to do it, but only imports were obfuscated:

Hi Alex, I’m glad you found this post useful.

When I created the script, I needed to obfuscate a .war file that was already created. As you can see this makes for a somewhat confusing and complex script.

If I had to do it over again, I would obfuscate my classes/jars before creating the .war file. Maybe someone else will read this and do it that way instead!

Thanks Mike, that was really helpful – we were in quite a hurry and (once I had my head wrapped around obfuscation/yGuard) this script worked smoothly.

Cheers
