having problem with proguard trying to obfuscate code that uses Spring

Question

My project uses spring for IoC. After obfuscation the application context fails to find the bean since it's class name has been changed. I tried to use -adaptresourcefilecontents option to get context.xml file be updated according to the class name, but it didn't work: the file wasn't changed. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try to add file filter, I don't know if proguard looks at xml file as well.

Also, the documentation mentions changing only class names. Since Spring injections usually work on properties you will have a problem identifying the right setters.
