[hibernate-issues] password encryption in hibernate

I looked in "Java Persistence with Hibernate" and could not find the answer to this question so I thought I would try here. Is there a standard way to handle a user password in hibernate? I want it to be encrypted, but it would be nice if there was a @Password(strategy=Encryption.SHA) tag. So I was just wondering if there was a standard way to get hibernate to handle this for me. Thanks Kal
