The GCC compiler for java allows you to compile java down to native code (AOC - Ahead Of time Compiling). I have never tried it before but it's open source and free to use.
That being said I'm not certain that compiling your class files down to native code is going to solve your problem since java web apps are dependent on the class files generated by your application. Unless I'm missing out on some functionality of Tomcat that I'm aware of I think your best bet is obfuscation.

Please check this. http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jetinternals.html How could we achieve this without the above tool? Because the pricing of the above tool is very costly. Looking forward to hear some ideas for this. <http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jetinternals.html> Best Regards, Kranti K K Parisa --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
