You can use a ResultSet directly, but you must keep the statement (and connection?) open while using it, which might lead to number-of-connection issues.
In general, I have pretty strong feelings against using "raw" ResultSets despite the overhead of copying data... anything other than raw JDBC will see the same behavior whether it's a full ORM or something as simple as a RowSetDynaClass (from Jakarta BeanUtils). Of course, I have no idea how you're currently interacting with the DB, so it's hard to say.
