The password element
The password used to connect to the database.
<password
Properties:
id="xml-id"
name="xml-id"
use="cdata"
usehref="cdata"
>
...pcdata...
</password>
The password element is used within the following other elements:
connect
Content
The password to be sent at connect time. This element may be omitted or empty. In interactive contexts
when authorization is required but the element is omitted or empty the XFA processor prompts for the
password. In non-interactive contexts when authorization is required the password must be supplied here.
Communicating any password in clear text is risky. If the password is supplied, steps should be taken to
ensure that the form's distribution is limited.
The id property
A unique identifier that may be used to identify this element as a target.
The name property
An identifier that may be used to identify this element in script expressions.
The use property
Invokes another object in the same document as a prototype for this object. The content of this property is
either a SOM expression (which cannot start with '#') or a '#' character followed by an XML ID.
Starting with XFA 2.4 the object used as a prototype no longer needs to be the child of
proto
. Any object
of the appropriate class can be used as a prototype.
If both
use
and
usehref
are non-empty
usehref
takes precedence.
The usehref property
Invokes an external object as a prototype for this object. The content of this property is an URL, followed
by '#', followed by either an XML ID or by som(SOM_expr) where
SOM_expr
represents a SOM
expression.
The XML ID or SOM expression is resolved in the context of the external document.
If both
use
and
usehref
are non-empty
usehref
takes precedence.
