JNDI-programatically set the password on datasource defined in the appcontext.xml

[Vinny Menon]

Hi fellow ranchers,

for my project,i am using WAS 6.1.0.25 server.my application uses mybatis and spring3.x and struts 2 as well.

now i have configured the datasource on WAS and provided the datasource bean as below:

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
         <property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/myConnPool" /> 
         <property name="resourceRef" value="true" />
</bean>

we cannot store the password in the App server(in WAS we can store it as a custom property). It is coming from a java application. PwdGen.java which has a method

String getPassword(String username)

.I have to set the database pwd using this method. can i set it before i make the get connection() call? the problem here is that the datasource is injected in the application. so how can i handle this scenario ? How will i programmatically set the password on the datasource and make the datasource available for the entire application?

i solved this problem by using my custom DataSourceAdapter. now the password is not stored anywhere in the custom property of the app server.
