loadPassword

public static char[] loadPassword(String passwordCmd)
                           throws Exception

Parameters:

passwordCmd - - A command to execute to obtain the plaintext password. The format is one of: '{EXT}...' where the '...' is the exact command '{EXTC[:expiration_in_millis]}...' where the '...' is the exact command line that will be passed to the Runtime.exec(String) method to execute a platform command. The first line of the command output is used as the password. EXTC variant will cache the passwords for expiration_in_millis milliseconds. Default cache expiration is 0 = infinity. '{CMD}...' or '{CMDC[:expiration_in_millis]}...' for a general command to execute. The general command is a string delimited by ',' where the first part is the actual command and further parts represents its parameters. The comma can be backslashed in order to keep it as a part of the parameter. '{CLASS[@jboss_module_spec]}classname[:ctorargs]' where the '[:ctorargs]' is an optional string delimited by the ':' from the classname that will be passed to the classname ctor. The ctorargs itself is a comma delimited list of strings. The jboss_module is JBoss Modules module identifier to load the CLASS from. The password is obtained from classname by invoking a 'char[] toCharArray()' method if found, otherwise, the 'String toString()' method is used.
