Obfuscation and jOOQ

Question

I'm going to use jOOQ and I probably need obfuscation.

I don't know how jOOQ works under the hood. Will the obfuscation process give issues to the application?

Answer 1

jOOQ uses reflection, internally:

1. to construct custom POJO objects
2. to assign values from Records to POJO objects and vice-versa
3. to call Oracle ojdbc-specific methods without creating a dependency on ojdbc
4. to call Postgres JDBC-specific methods on PGobject types

In these areas, obfuscation may cause issues if you change method names
