body: <pre><code>jdbc.password=
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I assign <code>jdbc.password</code> key in my application.properties file an empty string? </p>
  
  <p>I understand I can do this programmatically as follows, but I would like to set this in properties file. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Properties props = new Properties();
  props.put("password", "");
  </code></pre>
