Modify Datasource password without reload the server

[Andrés González Carranza]

Hi all,

It is possible to change the password for a datasource without reload or restarting Wildfly?

Thanks!

[Paul Ferraro]

Currently, no.  The password attribute of a DataSource is defined such that any modification requires restarting all services of the server [1].

Ideally, such modifications would only require restarting the services of its resource.  Feel free to file a jira issue to fix this.

i believe you can do it with 

ManagementFactory.getPlatformServer;

platformServer.setAttribute(... );

on "jboss.as:susbstem=datasources,data-source=your-datasource"

and new Attribute("password","you-actual-new-pass");

We have some similar feature requests for when a password comes from a credential store but even that is very tied to how we process the model once - we would really need some kind of callback API so that the credential store could notify anything using a particular credential that it has been updated.
