I commented on this in the following article - http://www.owasp.org/ index.php/Securing_tomcat#Cleartext_Passwords_in_CATALINA_HOME.2Fconf. 2Fserver.xml

There was also some further discussion on one of the OWASP list recently - https://lists.owasp.org/pipermail/java-project/2007-April/ 000150.html
