A hibernate entity class is annotated describing to hibernate how its to be persisted. Annotate this class with JAXB for a transformation, chuck in some gigaspace annotations so we can add it to a cache and things start to get messy.

I propose a solution using composition that allows for easier maintenance ongoing.
