[Hibernate] Combining 2 tables into 1 object

[Raible, M. <Mat...@ca...>]

I have two tables that are very simple

code_category
-------------
category_id
category_name

code_reference
-------------
code_id
category_id
code_desc

Is it possible to combine these into one object in Hibernate?  All I've read
seem to indicate that these should be separate objects.  Is it best to
separate them, or combine them?

Thanks,

Matt
