It is possible to define the element as an entity in server.xml: |<!ENTITY secure_resource SYSTEM "http://somewhere.com/resource.xml";>|
and then replace the Resource element with the entity: &|secure_resource Because the entity resolves to an external source, this source can be generated dynamically, by a script for example. This script could potentially be limited in execution to the tomcat user/instance. Other users who can possibly read the script that generates the the username/password, but not execute it, cannot get the username/password.
