[ http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-478?page=comments#action_56397 ] Hiram Chirino commented on GERONIMO-478: ----------------------------------------
The password hiding strategy that the patch uses is not very optimal since it is continously updating the screen to overwrite the typed password. Over a slow ssh connection this "feature" might not be so good. Another approach might be to used something like http://jline.sourceforge.net/#reading_password We site says that jline is lgpl but http://web1.2020media.com/j/jez/javanicuscom/blog2/items/162-index.html seems to indicate that it has recently relicensed as BSD. > Deployer must not echo password when prompting > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-478 > URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-478 > Project: Apache Geronimo > Type: Bug > Components: deployment > Reporter: Jeremy Boynes > Attachments: geronimo-478.patch, geronimo-478.patch > > When no password is specified on the command line the deployer prompts the > user for one. > When this is being entered it is echoed onto the screen. > On a windows machine the value entered is also displayed if up-arrow is > pressed when being prompted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
