There is virtually nothing you can do about this. The only solutions
here are:

1. Use a password entered on the console during start-up (the "Apache
   httpd strategy")
2. Remove the password from the keystore

Removing the password from the keystore is just about as (in)secure as
having the password in server.xml in plain-text.

All other strategies simply move the problem to some other component.
Protecting one password requires another password which requires
protecting which ... you get the idea.
