hi all,


this is very very urgent. Can anyone say how to avoid caching of certain

sensitive data's in memory say password and userid.


The situation is something like this.


when the user submits his password and userid then using java console

in web browser we can dump the caching to memory.out file if we open and

see the file called memory.out. password and userid are getting stored


can anyone give a valuable suggestions or opinions

Hye,


I didn't quite understand the query you posted. Anyways, try using the "transient" keyword for the sensitive data. This should work. Are you using Serialization?

e.g. protected transient String login;


Tell me if this worked or not.


Long live Java....
