Folks,
Hope this is the right place for this question.
I am using servlets / JDBC. It has been suggested that the best thing to do
with the DB password is to stick it into an "Environment variable" on the
web server and get it via a "getProperty()" call from within the servlet.
(This is opposed to having it "hard coded" into a class file which is what
I currently do).
Does anybody have any comments on the relative security of both methods? Or
is there a better way which I have not heard about?
Cheers
Adam
