Interface PasswordEncoding
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- PlainTextPasswordEncoder,- Rot13PasswordEncoder,- Rot47PasswordEncoder
public interface PasswordEncoding
Password encoders are used to translate the text of the database password, on loading
 and on saving, from one form to another. It can facilitate the obscuring of the
 password text to make database connection information less obvious to someone who
 stumbles onto the password. Cayenne only includes facilities to obscure, not encrypt,
 the database password. The mechanism is user-extensible, though, so should stronger
 security features be required, they can be added and integrated into both the modeler
 and framework.
