Model entity need to add custom Encryption on insert/update and decrypt on read

[sandeep2244]

Hello,

Can you guys define how to implement encryption, decryption on some of Model columns by custom annotation.
Or any eventListener such as Hibernate in R2DBC can use ?
We can find solution for JPA but not found for R2DBC.

There's no consistent way to post-process database values before writing them to the database or after returning these and before conversion into an entity.

@mp911de does customConverter works with this requirement ? I mean just need to verify that, it won't make any issue to persist DB value, state right ?

[mp911de]

CustomConversions uses type-based converters to e.g. apply conversion for temporal types or to serialize a custom type to bytes or JSON. We do not have sufficient hooks. While there's a BeforeSave callback, there's no way to post-process the loaded result when reading or when running a query.

Sounds good @mp911de , I checked BeforeSaveCallback is of type based conversion at table level.
May I know , does it work for annotation on Column based ?, requirement is to add encryption for some of the columns only.

[mp911de]

Callbacks operate on the type level, we don't provide any column (property)-level callbacks.

That being said closing this issue as it isn't actionable.
