7.10. Use an Encrypted Sensitive String in an Application
Encrypted strings stored in the Password Vault can be used in your application's source code.
Example 7.10. Servlet Using a Vaulted Password
This example is an extract of a servlet's source code, illustrating the use of a masked password in a datasource definition, instead of the plaintext password. The plaintext version is commented out so that you can see the difference.
/*@DataSourceDefinition(
name = "java:jboss/datasources/LoginDS",
user = "sa",
password = "sa",
className = "org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource",
url = "jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/mem:test"
)*/
@DataSourceDefinition(
name = "java:jboss/datasources/LoginDS",
user = "sa",
password = "VAULT::DS::thePass::1",
className = "org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource",
url = "jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/mem:test"
)
