title: Persisting Entities Mapped to MySQL View in JPA/Hibernate
body: <p>I have a entity Customer, which is mapped to a view which is defined as a series of joins between Customer, Account, and Person in my database.</p>
  
  <p>I am using JSF 2.0 with JPA set up with Hibernate. The backing database is MySQL</p>
  
  <p>My question is that given the fact that my Customer entity is mapped to a database view, how will this complicate persisting of new Customer entities?</p>
