Set / bag difference

IIRC, the only difference between sets and bags is that bags can contain the same element more than once. Right?

So what does "same element" mean? That equals() returns equal values?

Other than than... any other differences between sets and bags in hibernate?

Right, and t is always unordered.

Yes, same definition as in set.

Yes, and this is a FAQ ;-) http://www.hibernate.org/117.html#A8
