Can I map an Oracle View object as a persistent BO with Hibernate?

no you can't since it won't be persistent.

You can map object to a view but you won't be able to create or modify, just read it.

As in Oracle you can't create a row in a view ...

I can map it so I can write my own select with performance improvements and everything.
I just can't update any of its rows.


Thanks

You can of course map a class to a view. You can also update and insert the view, as long as it isn't joined (the Oracle rules are more complex). But even then, you may use an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view and write your own insert/update routine.
