Credentials for connecting to databases can be stored in a client-side Oracle wallet and allow the client to connect without need to supply a username and password.
The wallet is accessed in a secure way and the credentials are looked up based on the JDBC connection string.

This demonstration does not use SSL and does not depend on a server wallet. The goal is simply to have a client-side wallet to store the credentials and perform a simple JDBC connection using TCP
