I am working on a application that is a child application of another application.my application has a independent database .the tables in my application will be using some data from parent application database.for that purpose i have used views based on joins from parent database table.I am using Hibernate 4,spring 3.2 backened at mysql.
In the sub application i have mapped the entity for view.
This view will be used by other entities as for join fetch ,lazy loading which is a troublesome. As far i know join fetch is applied for entities with child parent relationships.
can we apply such relationships with views.
"Moreover we cannot refer a view in a foreign key"...
I am not able to draw a conclusion as I am new to hibernate.
Please help me find a solution asap.
