hi Nicholas, yes and no. You can change the password by simply doing DataSource ds = .... PoolConfiguration pcf = (PoolConfiguration)ds; pcf.setPassword(...);
however, this change would only take into effect for newly created connections, and not the ones already in the pool. There is some needed support to refresh the pool with configuration changes.
I will open a Bugzilla enhancement request, and we can get this implemented. best Filip On 02/22/2011 10:54 AM, Nicholas Sushkin wrote:
Hi, I am checking out the new Tomcat's jdbc-pool. So far it's great. I like JMX monitoring feature. I searched lists and google for how to change database password in the JNDI data source and couldn't find anything. Can it be done? If not, then can JMX MBean be extended with an operation to set the password (write only)? Sometimes database passwords change while the application is deployed and it would've been nice to update the passwords without redeploying. Also, it would eliminate the need to store sensitive passwords in files. I am not sure what the security implications of being able to set the password is, but I think it's safe, since the JMX connection can be authenticated and secured. Thanks
