May be one could use internally a subclass for the sole purpose of 
declaring:

@Entity
@AttributeOverrides({
    @AttributeOverride(name="foo", column=@Column("FUN")),
    ...
})
@AssociationOverrides({
    @AssociationOverride(name="bar", joinColumns=@JoinColumn("BAR_ID")),
    ...
})
public class MyDatabaseEntity extends MyBean {

    // Nothing in here.

}

Haven't tried it, though.
