Hi,

for a java application I'm using eclipselink with postgresql.
I put the password and username for the postgresql in the persistence.xml file It's not the best way I don't want to put those informations in this file and I want to use either the environnement variables (System.getProperty(PASSWD) for example where PASSWD is stored in a config file. or at least and encrypted passwd
I'm running the application on local server for the moment and It's not allowed to use JBoss.

Thank you for your help

Use a encryption library to store the encrypted values of username and password. e.g. jasypt. Or store username and password in a custom config file, e.g. stored in the user.home directory.
