Re: JDBC : How to handle user-id and password

Are you using the DB2 or the Toolbox JDBC driver? The situation varies
depending on the answer to this.

Subject:  JDBC : How to handle user-id and password

Dear all.

I've written a Java programm which extracts data from tables on our AS/400
using
JDBS calls.
The programm is supposed to run on the AS/400 (OS 4.3).

The question is how do I best handle the userid and password that are
needed to
connect
to the DB2 using the DriverManager.getConnection method ? Right now I have
hardcoded both into my programm what I don't really like.

The doc says that if you run it on the AS/400 the user-profile and password
from
the user that started th job would be used. In our case this does not
happen,you
have to indicate user-id and password. Is this some PTF stuff or will OS
4.4 or
4.5 resolve that issue ?

Thanks for your feedback
