How to create a Keystore File

Hi All,
I need help in creating a keystore file.

Application server used is Tomcat.

Here I am using database connection strings fopr connecting to a database.So i need to make that connection strings secure. For that i need a keystore file, and mention the databse connection strings in that keystore file. So that when i try to connect to a databse the code will access the keystore file and decrypt (bcoz conncetion strings will be encrypted) the connection strings and login to the database.

I finished my code how to read the keystore file from a specific location..But the thing is i need help in creating keystore file and how to mention the database connection strings in that keystore file.


Thanks in Advance.
