Hello Tomcat developers, I have a class which needs to get a password typed in on the console from a user for startup. This password is used to access an encryption key so I don't want it to be stored in web.xml, etc. I could create a web application that accepts that password over the net, but what I really want to do is to just allow the administrator to type the password in when he runs startup.sh.
One solution that I have is to have a class with a static block that gets the password from the console. That works fine (the password is requested when the class is loaded) but it breaks the regular Tomcat startup scripts. I modified the script so that it does not background the java process, and then I hit Ctl-Z and then background it, but what I'm wondering is, is there a better way to do this?
