I have a spring web app that uses Hibernate and Velocity. It's an MVC app. I pass my ModelMaps down to the service level. And I also use my Hibernate persistence objects in the service level. I have these "domain" objects, which are basically the same thing as the persistence objects, except I include them in the ModelMap and make use of then in velocity. My questions is: can I do away with the "domain" object and use the persistence objects in the ModelMap, or that cause some kind of problems (maybe performance problems)?
Thanks for the help, Joe
