decompile / reverse engineer JWS applications?

843802Dec 15 2001 — edited Nov 21 2003

If a program is deployed as a JWS application does that allow a user to decompile / reverse engineer the application code that is stored on the user's computer (assuming ineffective obfuscation)?

If that is true then is it not better to continue to deploy the program as an applet so that the user can not access the applet code?

(I apologise if this is a trivial question but I couldn't find this issue being addressed in any of the JWS hype)

Cheers
