I'm wondering if its possible to use JKS as an alternative to zookeeper or databases..
im writing an app that has some important information that needs to be created upon startup, this information should be kept safe/secure/encrypted. upon shutting down the app, i'd like the created info to be stored on disk, and next time server starts back up to load this info from .jks file... im pretty sure its possible but i've yet experience a situation where someoen stored more then just a hash/pw/private key in a .jks file...
i've read " The keystore a database which holds encrypted information and the information about how to decrypt it. If you do not specify a keystore, the default keystore to use is a file called .keystore in your home directory." from
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/Create_a_Java_Keystore_to_Store_Sensitive_Strings.html so hence my question.
thx for the feedback
