Entity Object

@Entity
@Table(name = "BC_PERSON")
public class Person extends BaseEntity {
  private String name ;
  private String idNo ;
}

JPA is used to generate the corresponding database table.

Custom Type Handler and Encryption Utilities

public class EncryptTypeHandler implements TypeHandler<String> {
  @Override
  public void setParameter(PreparedStatement ps, int i, String parameter, JdbcType jdbcType) throws SQLException {
    ps.setString(i, EncryptUtils.encrypt(parameter)) ;
  }
  @Override
  public String getResult(ResultSet rs, String columnName) throws SQLException {
    String value = rs.getString(columnName) ;
    if (value == null || value.length() == 0) {
      return null ;
    }
    return EncryptUtils.decrypt(value);
  }
  @Override
  public String getResult(ResultSet rs, int columnIndex) throws SQLException {
    String value = rs.getString(columnIndex) ;
    if (value == null || value.length() == 0) {
      return null ;
    }
    return EncryptUtils.decrypt(value);
  }
  @Override
  public String getResult(CallableStatement cs, int columnIndex) throws SQLException {
    String value = cs.getString(columnIndex) ;
    if (value == null || value.length() == 0) {
      return null ;
    }
    return EncryptUtils.decrypt(value);
  }
}
public class EncryptUtils {

  private static final String secretKey = "1111222244445555" ;
  private static final String ALGORITHM  = "AES" ;

  public static String encrypt(String data) {
    try {
      Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding") ;
      cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(secretKey.getBytes(), ALGORITHM)) ;
      return Hex.encode(cipher.doFinal(data.getBytes())) ;
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException | NoSuchPaddingException | InvalidKeyException | IllegalBlockSizeException | BadPaddingException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      return null ;
    }
  }

  public static String decrypt(String secretText) {
    try {
      Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding") ;
      cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, new SecretKeySpec(secretKey.getBytes(), ALGORITHM)) ;
      return new String(cipher.doFinal(Hex.decode(secretText))) ;
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException | NoSuchPaddingException | InvalidKeyException | IllegalBlockSizeException | BadPaddingException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      return null ;
    }
  }

  private static class Hex {

    private static final char[] HEX = { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' };

    public static byte[] decode(CharSequence s) {
      int nChars = s.length();
      if (nChars % 2 != 0) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("16进制数据错误");
      }
      byte[] result = new byte[nChars / 2];
      for (int i = 0; i < nChars; i += 2) {
        int msb = Character.digit(s.charAt(i), 16);
        int lsb = Character.digit(s.charAt(i + 1), 16);
        if (msb < 0 || lsb < 0) {
          throw new IllegalArgumentException("Detected a Non-hex character at " + (i + 1) + " or " + (i + 2) + " position");
        }
        result[i / 2] = (byte) ((msb << 4) | lsb);
      }
      return result;
    }

    public static String encode(byte[] buf) {
      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
      for (int i = 0, leng = buf.length; i < leng; i++) {
        sb.append(HEX[(buf[i] & 0xF0) >>> 4]).append(HEX[buf[i] & 0x0F]) ;
      }
      return sb.toString() ;
    }

  }
}

Mapper and XML Files

@Mapper
public interface PersonMapper {
  List<Person> queryPersons() ;
  int insertPerson(Person person) ;
}
<mapper namespace="com.pack.mapper.PersonMapper">
  <resultMap type="com.pack.domain.Person" id="PersonMap">
    <id column="id" property="id"/>
    <result column="name" property="name"/>
    <result column="id_no" property="idNo" typeHandler="com.pack.mybatis.EncryptTypeHandler"/>
    <result column="create_time" property="createTime"/>
  </resultMap>
  <select id="queryPersons" resultMap="PersonMap">
    SELECT * FROM bc_person
  </select>
  <insert id="insertPerson" parameterType="com.pack.domain.Person">
    insert into bc_person (id, name, id_no, create_time) values (#{id}, #{name}, #{idNo, typeHandler=com.pack.mybatis.EncryptTypeHandler}, #{createTime})
  </insert>
</mapper>

In the resultMap, the typeHandler attribute points to EncryptTypeHandler so that the column is automatically decrypted when queried. The insert statement also specifies the same handler to encrypt the value before persisting.

Test

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class SpringBootComprehensiveApplicationTests {

  @Resource
  private PersonMapper personMapper ;
  @Test
  public void testInsertMapper() {
    com.pack.domain.Person person = new com.pack.domain.Person() ;
    person.setId("0001") ;
    person.setCreateTime(new Date()) ;
    person.setIdNo("111111") ;
    person.setName("中国") ;
    personMapper.insertPerson(person) ;
  }
  @Test
  public void testQueryUers() {
    System.out.println(personMapper.queryPersons()) ;
  }
}

When inserting data, the custom type handler encrypts the id_no field automatically.

When querying, the handler decrypts the field so the original value is returned.
