Hibernate can treat views like it does any table. Just define an entity class based on that view (Baselines, as you say).

The most common difficulty with views is that some database engines can't handle inserts or updates on views, so be aware of that if your application tries to modify the data. I don't know if MySQL is capable of this.

An alternative to using a view is to use Hibernate Filters, which do much the same thing, but at the Hibernate session level.
