Hi,

I use hibernate in stand-alone desktop application. Application users are also database users. So I create JDBC connection string after user input one's username and password. It is very comfortable and quite secure because I don't have to store and/or encrypt passwords in database (I use database's engine of encryption and storing passwords).

There is one problem, namely: every contemporary application should provide password changing module. In my application password changing in application means password changing in database. It can be done only by adequate SQL query (every database user have rights to change one's password)? Does hibernate support such operations. My application is to be portable and should work with any database. If hibernate doesn't support such a feature I'll have to write SQL query for every existing database. And what if new version of any of these databases will be released?

My question is: how to use hibernate to write database password changing module?

You have to do that yourself.
