does @ModelAttribute in spring MVC have to represent an entity in Hibernate?

consider the following example:

@ModelAttribute ("personForm") PersonForm personForm

in a method, now:

  1. should this PersonForm object identicle to the Person object have created as Hibernate entity?

or

  1. PersonForm is just way to get input from form and access it in the controller? i.e. taking benefit of Spring MVC data binding.

Not 1, but 2 is right. You can use a hibernate entity for convenience, but it's not a requirement.
