This video is great !! Can we get a demo app for working with Vault in Java?

Hi Kapil thanks for the demo. I believe If I understood it correctly then here the Application is using Transit and Transform secret engine to Encrypt and Decrypt the data. Database is being merely used to Dynamically Generate Application's DB username and Password and return it to App so that the App can connect to DB. Would you also please refer to video where DB does the actual encryption and decryption.

Hi Kapil, could you do a tutorial on how you created the webapp? thanks

Great video! Very good for noobs. can you explain the significance of 'VAULT' variables (Creds, CredPath, Token, Namespace, KeyPath, KeyName) in config.ini ? How to relate that with schema name, Database URI, DB username, DB password, TableName etcetera. I am looking for something just to store the credentials, API Secret Key in the secrets engine. Would this implementation suffice that? Thanks!
