Not allowing encrypted password

Issue

I am using smartpool library for oracle database connection. According to their documentation we have to provide database information in xml config file in plain text only even password also. But according to my company policy password should not be stored in plain text. Can anybody help me to handle this situation please.

Solution

After struggling a lot, I fixed in following ways:

When I looked into history, it's development was discontinued. There was no other way to fix and it's source code was also not available. I had to do some reverse engineering with Java De-compiler. Created my own class and inherited the existing, added the needed functionality to support encryption and compiled using the same JDK version. This solution worked for me.

So, the final answer of this question is, any change in smartpool lib you have to do your own because there is no active development for this library. Thanks.
