Hi,
I have a quite simple plsql function in oracle 11g that consumes an external webservice, using apex_web_service.make_request to return the xml payload of the service.
I have to pass a plaintext username and password. This are different accross different deployment environments , along with the endpoints.
I'd like suggestions about good practices to store this credentials into code. Now I have them right there, in package body constants, and it gives me the creeps every time I see it.
Would appreciate at least a better practice than that ... no need to be "the best", or maybe your opinions respect if this is normal or not.
thanks.
