proguard not obfuscating bean creation in xml

Am trying to obfuscate my spring project, class files are obfuscated properly, but not bean definition in xml files.

package com.stack.request;
public class Employee(){ 
  String name;
  String age;
}

obfuscated to 

package a.b.a;
public class a(){
  String a;
  String b;
}

but bean in xml is like this

<bean id="employee" class="com.stack.request.Employee"></bean>

will it obfuscate to 

<bean id="employee" class="a.b.a.a"></bean>
Solution

  • I haven't tried it but i doubt proguard will do it, proguard analyses your byte code and obfuscate them.

    It is framework agnostic, every framework might have it's own requirement.

    I would suggest to use annotations instead of xml and use qualifier annotations with your beans.
