The Static3DES password cipher uses a static key shipped with TomEE, so ciphered datasource passwords are only obfuscated. Using it now logs a one-time warning and the javadoc points to stronger alternatives such as a custom PasswordCipher. Existing ciphered values are unchanged and keep working.

Its key ships with TomEE, so ciphered values must not be treated as secret.
