Encrypting Datasource password

Hi,

Is there a way to encrypt/obfuscate password supplied from
jetty-env.xml ? It's using DataSource implementation to pass the DB
connection settings so I'm guessing we can just plug another
implementation from there.

Thanks.

Nothing exists as far as I know.  I asked about it on the Jetty
support list, since at that time their docs implied it was possible.

Here's the work I did on it at that time:
