Connections properties while transporting WDJ DC

Hi Experts,

We are currently developed WDj application by connecting MDM server repository . So during development stage we maintained user id & password hardcoded in the program itself but now we maintained the user id & password in connection.properties file for all three systems. So now we are moving to Q/P systems.

We are reading the file & fetch the data based on the system. And its working fine perfectly. I want to know whether this approach is correct or should i need to follow different technic. Since we are going to maintain production system password also in that file.

Please help me on this.

Regards,

Arun.
