Hi folks,

we have a very sensitive webapp that requires the input of a password
when the tomcat server starts. We don't want to store this password
in a file. One way we've already tested could be the use of a JDialog
with a JPasswordField that is shown in the init() method of a servlet
(<load-on-startup>1). Unfortunately this requires our server to run
X11... :-(

Is there any (hidden) way to input this password on the terminal
tomcat was started from?

Thanks in advance for any idea!
Jan
