Maybe it could be a key/pass combination.
Once the password is entered. It is kept in mememory
throughout the entire jBoss process.

But if you encrypt the password on disk, you need a key to decrypt it 
with. Unless you make a sysadmin keep a floppy in a vault with this key 
on it and only mount that floppy when JBoss is starting, then take it 
out right away, you'll have to store the key on disk on the same machine 
where the encrypted passwords are stored. This makes the encrypted 
password clear-text equivalent.
