How I can set database connection parameters at startup time jar spring-boot app in console

Question

I know that it is possible to pass connection parameters as an argument, but I have a requirement - the password from the database must be accepted in hidden mode. For example how System.console().readPassword()

If you are using the latest versions of spring-boot 2.X, the below command line will override your datasource password:

java -jar -Dspring.datasource.password=pass your_jar_file.jar

yes, but the password will be entered as plain text, I am looking for a way to enter the password in hidden mode

@NiyazAkh when you say as in hidden mode do you actually mean to be able to run your Spring Boot application via terminal by prompting user to enter DB password before running app or by providing some Secret value from a file (e.g. .env)?
