what do you mean by hibernate result? the result a an HQL query for example?
These results are object, parts of your domain model, so i think your business objects = domain model, so you simply have to map BO using hibernate, then if you need to keep Tranfer Object strategy, just continue with the same logic

Check out the "select new()" HQL syntax, I think Gavin calls the feature "projection"?.
You can completely skip the creation/population of domain objects and have Hibernate create DTOs for you with this syntax.

Note that projection is not available with the Criteria API.

Projection is acheivable in Criteria queries using the ResultTransformer concept.

1. "select new()" is called "dynamic instantiation", projection would be the same as in the relational/SQL world.

2. Why didn't anyone tell me about the ResultTransformer before? :)

select new() , was a good solution, but couldn't see much of it in documentation.
I went through the document many time but missed this.


Thanks All
