Using jar signing as a kind of license key
问题 Related to this question, can / should I use jar signing to create a tamper proof jar with information embedded for run-time enforcement of the number of users allowed to use the application? My idea is this: Create jar with single class containing static field holding the right number of users Sign the jar and place in Grails war lib folder so on classpath (Assumption, is this correct?) I can access the the static field in the class in the signed jar file from my grails application safely
