Hi!

You might put the jdbc-url, username and passowrd for the database in 
you javacode and create a connection dict in java instead of storing 
this info in the eomodel. Still someone can deompile your class and get 
this info. Another solution might be to store this info in a file in 
the project and encode this file in some way that you app can decode 
it. Still it would be possible to get the decode algorithm my 
decompiling you javacode, but you make it a bit harder to get to.

Ofcource some of the other info of your eomodel like what tables you 
have and so on might be a bit harder to protect.
