Re: A question on Informix JDBC driver

This makes sense to me - I wouldn't want to have my user/password in clear text in my code, or developers needing to know it. Even if it's in the properties file. Problem is, going oover straight TCP, how do you do all that stuff in Java, and identify yourself to the remote db host? It seems to fit more in the java model to do it with the way that they're doing it.
