A situation may arise in which:

--  a reverse-engineered model is being extended, and re-definition of columns is not allowed

and

-- Hibernate annotations are being used instead of configuration files

Here is how the encryption type can be defined through annotation at the package level so that it can be used in all entities, whether auto-generated or extended:

package-info.java:

@org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDefs(

    {

@org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDef(

    name="encryptedString",

    typeClass=org.jasypt.hibernate.type.EncryptedStringType.class,

    parameters= {

        @org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter(name="encryptorRegisteredName", value="hibernateStringEncryptor")

    }

)

    }

)

package com.example.model;
