title: Using java classes in Grails
body: <p>I have a Java\Spring\Hibernate application - complete with domain classes which are basically Hibernate POJOs</p>
  
  <p>There is a piece of functionality that I think can be written well in Grails.</p>
  
  <p>I wish to reuse the domain classes that I have created in the main Java app</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do so ?</p>
  
  <p>Should I write new domain classes extending the Java classes ? this sounds tacky
  Or Can I 'generate' controllers off the Java domain classes ?</p>
  
  <p>What are the best practices around reusing Java domain objects in Grails\Groovy
  I am sure there must be others writing some pieces in grails\groovy</p>
  
  <p>If you know about a tutorial which talks about such an integration- that would be awesome !!!</p>
  
  <p>PS: I am quite a newbie in grails-groovy so may be missing the obvious. Thanks !!!</p>
