Is there any means by which you can encrypt password using hibernate ?
MySQL provides various functions like md5() to encrypt password.
Is there any similar mechanism in hibernate to encrypt password.

It is very urgent.

You can create an UserType for this purpose, maybe something like this :

Thanks.Is there any other solution?

This is the mapping file for User :
