Mick, I don't know specifically about hibernate.
However, I get the gist of your issue, and have faced the same question myself. I think the general pattern for this is to have a DAO (Data Access Object) as a member variable (property) of the managed bean. That way the managed bean simply contains-a, instead of is-a.
Definately don't copy/paste every getter and setter into a managed bean. To do so would unnecessarily complicate your code and couple your layers. :)

I have an existing Hibernate project with many hibernate mapped POJO's. I do not want to add all the set/get methods from my POJO into Backing Beans, so I am wondering what others have done? Have your BackingBean extend you hibernate object?
