Hi All,
We are currently working on converting an existing web application from old platform to J2EE platform. So we are trying to use hibernate 3.0 for persistence. The constraints we have are
1) Entities are already created on a global level(as part of developing other J2ee applications) and used across the enterprise. Hence we are forced to use these existing entities (and extend it, if required).
2) Forced to use the existing Database schema.

Given this situation, i am having several tables which requires mapping from more than one entity. For ex,
UserInfo and EmailInfo entities need to be mapped to USER table.
ApplicantInfo, RequestInfo and RateInfo need to be mapped to APPLICATION table.
Any insight on how hibernate can be used in the above situations is appreciated.

Thanks
Mahesh K
