How to encrypt the username and password in -db-service.xml

[d_p2]

Dear All,

I am using jboss-3.0.8 and having plain text in username and password in our
-db-service.xml file:

<config-property name="UserName" type="java.lang.String">username</config-property>
<config-property name="Password" type="java.lang.String">password</config-property>

Is there any way to protect/encrypt the password in datasource?

Thanks a lot!

Many appreciate for your help!

regards,
dp

I would imagine the answer is to use JCE to encrypt the whole file, and customise the thing that reads this file to decrypt it. A bit of work but probably the answer.
