Encrypt passwords for JNDI Resources (Datasource specifically)

I'd like to be able to encrypt the database passwords used in the JDBC
pool configuration block. Is this possible in 4.1.27? 5.x? Something as
simple as base64 encoding would be fine, I just can't store it as easy
to read plain text.

 From the default distribution of tomcat - there is no way.

Just make sure the file is secure.
