Is there a way I can map a field in an hibernate object to be loaded with a table query?

As an example lets say Table_Message has fields id(int),message_key(varchar),message_content(Clob),language(varchar). This table will hold messages in different languages(locale).

And another table thats mapped to an entity using hibernate. Comments with fields id(int),comment_message_id(varchar),created_date(datetime). comment_message_id refers to Table_Message‘s message_key column.

EDIT: Table_Message is NOT a mapped Entity in hibernate

Assuming my comment class is

public class Comment
{
   int id;
   String message;
   Date createdDate;
}

Is there a way to tell hibernate to load message by joining Comment table and Table_Message table by message_key with a default locale (for example ‘en’).

Basically is there a way to tell hibernate to load a field by running a specific query? And if so what is that way?

I know about writing a Custom SQL query for loading the entity. But since I’m using XDoclet there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that. Also it will be very convenient if there’s a way to do that for a single field.
