class files aren't encrypted, they're compiled. Not the same thing -- there are PLENTY of decompilers for java bytecode. Of course the code you get back can be pretty henious as far as variable names, etc, but you can figure usually it out.
In the pure Java world, TowerJ makes a product that compiles to native code and somehow encrypts in the process -- I don't know about it personally except from trying it to improve performance on a JRun 2.3 app.... :) Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/TransitionPoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 2:22 PM Subject: Re: protecting source code with MX > Dont know alot about MX, but could he just give them the .class > file that CF creates from the templates?
