Question regarding the sending of passwords via JDBC . . .

843854Jan 9 2002 — edited Apr 2 2004
Hey All,

I'd like to know if the username and password is sent in clear text during the getConnection() JDBC call to connect a client to a database?

I'm using a type 4 driver. Does this mean that the connection protocol is database-dependent and that some databases may allow the sending of passwords to be encrypted?

Thanks for any help.

Peter

Whatever the answer to that might be, it's irrelevant, as ResourceBundle will cache it anyway.

Thank you. what I found is it creates New Resource bundle object every time I load the page. Anyway thanks for the information.

It can't. There is no accessible constructor. What you mean is that it calls ResourceBundle.loadBundle(). But that returns a cached copy if the bundle has already been loaded, as I already told you.
