In an attempt to implement security on our web servers, I've tried to remove the
username and password on the struts-config.xml datasource tag. I've done this to
retrieve this information from a remote location not located on the actual web server.
The problem with this, as many of you probably know is that the struts framework does
not yet support the getConnection("user","pass") in its genericDataSource
implementation. I was wondering if any of you have a workaround for this instance?
I have gotten tomcat to load the datasource without a username and password by setting
my minCount="0". The reason this works is pretty obvious and that's because tomcat
doesn't make an initial connection to the database.
I have a feeling that I can add the username and password now that tomcat is loaded
but am a little unsure of how to accomplish this.
Thanks
