is it possible to hide the code ?

[roidayan]

i read the tutorial for newbies and saw the example that i create html file and javascript file for the dynamic stuff.
is there a way i can hide / encrypt the code somehow ?
so users wont see how the widget really works or from where its getting information from ?

No can do. If you want to make it hard for the user, use C++ and compile to native binaries (even then, a determined person with the right skills can find out how your application really works and where it gets its information from).

[roidayan]

yes but i mean to hide it for the simple persons.
like python scripts can be compiled to pyc.
i guess i can just make swf file.

Maybe you can use confused tools for javascript.

You could "obfuscate" the JavaScript source code (which has the added benefit of making it smaller) but that doesn't really provide any real security in terms of really hiding the source code and for example URLs used in AJAX calls.

thx
I guess its better than nothing.

found something that made:
var url1="http://www.test.com";
alert("hello world");

into:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--)d[c]=k[c]||c;k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--)if(k[c])p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c]);return p}('8 7="6://5.4.3";2("1 0");',9,9,'world|hello|alert|com|test|www|http|url1|var'.split('|'),0,{}))


still url is easliy seeing with just looking at it
but i guess in a longer code it wont be watchable like here.

Most important thing is protecting content using OMA DRM. Here is how Symbian defines active and passive content.

The widget is the active component is the passive content. We can apply OMA DRM 1.0 protection to our widget contents.

Through DRM manager we can do following.

We can decide how the content distributon will take place?
How many time we can view the content?
How many channels the content can be distributed?
We can set permission to load applicatoin.
