Re: retrieve the password from an AS400JDBCDriver connection?

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Randerson,

I missed this one, but it should work if you just add ;prompt=false to
the url like:

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400://iSeriesSystem/apilib;naming=sq
l;errors=full;date format=iso;prompt=false",
                                    myUserName,
                                    myPassword);

Is there a method to retrieve the password from an AS400JDBCDriver
connection?
 
I am using my own panel for the user to enter in the username and
password.   
I pass the values to the connection via.
Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver");
iSeriesConnection =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400://iSeriesSystem/apilib;naming=sq
l;errors=full;date format=iso",
                                    myUserName,
                                    myPassword);
 
 
However if the username or password is incorrect, the default Login
panel appears and allows the user to reenter the values.    It appears
that I can retrieve the username by 
iSeriesConnection.getMetaData().getUserName();
 
Is there a technique to get the password that is entered, so that I
can
use the value elsewhere in the application?
 
Thanks in advance.
