password on DB connection

Hi,
Currently when I get an AS400 DB connection I do:

      DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver());
      as400Connection =
          DriverManager.getConnection(
          "jdbc:as400://" + as400System + "/" + as400Collection, user,
password);

I retrieve the user and password from a properties file. The process is a batch
process.

I setup a userid for DB access that cannot sign on with a password that never
expires. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Pat
