Hello all,
I have couple of question relating to letting people "use" java programs/applets
but not letting them "save" them.
1. Say I develop a set of classes or components for clients to use and then
build applets based on them. I want java-aware browsers to be able to
execute the applets which use my componets to provide some kind of service.
I don't want the user to be able to store and reuse my components
embedding within the applet. How do I make this happen? Does java
already provide this feature via security?
2. Can a compiled class be de-compiled into at least the class definitions
and interfaces used to develop them? Thus, I could find out how to use
an arbitrary class library or component by using such a tool.
Also, as an aside:
Does the server used by HotJava have to be "Java-aware" or does it just
use plain old HTTP protocol and, hence, enable me to use any HTTP server?
