I'd have to verify this, but I don't think the DBCP option supports
the password encryption feature. What I did in the past was use Ant
to swap different driver.xml files out for different builds. All used
the encrypted password feature, but different driver.xml files. Also,
the DBCP can be a bit of a pain to use as I discovered, but if this is
cleaner in 3.1 then that'll help.
