    Hi,

    I had this very same question some time ago, and the overwhelming opinion was to use the Java encryption over a DBMS-specific solution. I am using the javax.crypto package. I handle the encryption with a wrapper class and simply store the resulting string in the database using standard Cayenne.

    I now agree with all of those people who suggested that I go with the standard Java encryption vs MySQL.

    Hope this helps,
    Joe
