Java Play Encrypt Database Password

Question

I\'m developing a Java Play application and I\'m storing the Database password in plain text inside the application.conf file.

db.default.url=\"jdbc:oracle:thin:         


        

Answer 1

Is there any other way to store password in encrypted format other than a plugin.

Well you could create your own formula for encrypting and decrypting the password. For example you can store the password in character array, make characters into bytes, do something to those bytes and save it into a file. For decrypting you just do all that stuff backwards.
