Tried to put the path of the file with db passowrd in the dbconfig.xml file.

<password>/path/to/jira-db-cred.txt</password> . is it feasible. I m getting jra cannot read error currently.

No, the XML tag <password> takes text.  There's no command to read another file in there.

Jira is reading the password to be "/path/to/jira-db-cred.txt", it probably throws a can't read error because you have not escaped the / in there.
