( sorry for my grammar )
how i can have in my code of java mail, the password of the account but hidden? (in a JavaBean)

coz, i saw the books, that put the password just like a any string,

if for any motive a person find the .class and then get the source code from the .class (exist software to do that), well is obvious what can happen

thanks

I have read a bit on the sun forums about this and there was no easy method that I could see, the only solution involved splitting the password into different elements and re-assembling them in the program, so the elements were still visible as strings, but not as the complete password. You would have to search the sun forums for the discussion, I wasnt really happy with this method so did not bother.

The answer posted by most people was to secure the server! If you are running a web application, Tomcat restricts access to the class files, i.e. they are only accessible via jsp, you cannot enter the URL and download them, so, if you have the password in a bean/class it should be as secure as your server!

Hi angrycat
(sorry for my grammar)

i thought that saw the related Foro in Sun, but is a hard problem trust in the server

anyway thanks for the tip

Dont worry I can read it ok!

If you cant trust your server your whole site/data/everything is up for grabs, I would be more worried about my databases etc. than a mail password, it was database passwords I was trying to secure by the way, not mail passwords, but the issue is the same.

Hi angrycat
(sorry for my grammar)
you right about all, but always is good think in all risks and posibilities
