encrypted password in the properties file
Hi
I am new to ibatis, I want to save only an encrypted password inside the .properties file,
say for now, my sqlMapConfig.properties file has,
driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx
username=username
password=password
i want to save an encrypted password instead like
driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx
username=username
password=&^%df3d
to get the sqlMapClient, i have,
String resource="com\\comp\\app\\sqlMapConfig.xml";
Reader reader=Resources.getResourceAsReader(resource);
sqlMap=SqlMapClientBuilder.buildSqlMapClient(reader);
Could any one say how I should be handling this.
Thanks.

Thanks Larry.

it would be a waste of time.
If someone can access that file, they can access the bytecode to
decrypt it (because your jdbc driver won't use it encrypted) thus they
own you anyway.
Good file system security is your best bet.
