Re: Question for Tomcat Developers - How to Plug In Encryption for JDBC passwords
George Sexton wrote: If you really want to do this, then you will need to have your application startup have a method that permits an operator to enter in the password for the JDBC information at startup. Whatever - the key is to be able to insert an application-defined processing step between the reading of the DBCP properties, and sending the username and password to the JDBC driver. This additional step could be: * nothing (cleartext username and password) * trivial decryption of a trivially encrypted string (not cryptographically safe, but Dilbert's-boss-safe). * True encrypted strings that require a password-protected opening of a private-key file to decrypt. * True password-protected external storage of encrypted data. Whatever. The key is to be able to do a two-way processing of the username, password, and other sensitive data (even the JDBC url). A tool to "encode" the data into the JDBC properties, and a code callback to "decode" the properties when reading them from the file. How easy is this to do?

Interesting... do you have any recommended reading on that, Graham?
Love these urban-legend types of warnings ("don't flash your
headlights...").
I think Graham is referring to a bug in the 1.4.2 line of JVMs where
under certain circumstances, the HotSpot compiler trips over the garbage
collector, and causes mysterious VM aborts. I believe there have been
fixes in 1.4.2_06 and 1.4.2_07, and also in 1.5.0_01.
It's triggered more easily in an HT or MP machine, but the important
thing is that it can also be tripped on non-HT, single-processor
machines (though much more rarely).

How to access s from Servlet.init()?
I'd like to configure a set of web-app-level parameters for use by both
Java-based Servlets, and JSP pages. I thought of setting these up as
s at the level in web.xml.
For JSPs, all is cool: <%= application.getInitParameter("foo") %>
returns these parameters.
For Servlets, how do I get at them from the init() method? (I need them
there!). I find that calling config.getInitParameter() doesn't return
these (where "config" is the parameter to init() - it only returns the
actual s configured within the ).
Also, this.getServletConfig() is null, and this.getServletContext()
throws an NPE from within javax.servlet.GenericServlet.

And of course, have those files be cleaned up later.

Pawson, David wrote: Try an entity instead of xinclude? Not many parsers are good for xinclude as yet (a mainly uninformed statement). Entity resolution is easier if the parser is setup correctly. Oh, that's what we are doing now, but entity resolution doesn't have a concept of relative paths. I.e. if you have a file called "/path/to/foo.xml", which does an entity include of "file:../somewhere/params.dtd", then the path is not interpreted in relation to its including file (i.e. as "/path/to/../somewhere/params.dtd"), but instead in relation to "$cwd" (i.e. it's literally opened as "../somewhere/params.dtd"). This makes it nearly useless, as you are *forced* to "cd" to "/path/to" before you can process the "foo.xml" file. On the other hand, if you use absolute path names, that makes it difficult to move the files around. All in all, entity includes are inflexible and a terrific pain to work with. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
