Using JPA you can do it this way.

CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaUpdate criteria = builder.createCriteriaUpdate(User.class);
Root root = criteria.from(User.class);
criteria.set(root.get("lastSeen"), date);
criteria.where(builder.equal(root.get("id"), user.getId()));
session.createQuery(criteria).executeUpdate();
