I have a Java\Spring\Hibernate application - complete with domain classes which are basically Hibernate POJOs

There is a piece of functionality that I think can be written well in Grails.

I wish to reuse the domain classes that I have created in the main Java app

What is the best way to do so ?

Should I write new domain classes extending the Java classes ? this sounds tacky Or Can I 'generate' controllers off the Java domain classes ?

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

If you know about a tutorial which talks about such an integration- that would be awesome !!!

PS: I am quite a newbie in grails-groovy so may be missing the obvious. Thanks !!!
