Hi,

I'm having a question related to Hibernate. When I try to generate xml from a pojo that has xdoclet hibernate tags in it everything goes fine BUT when I first make the pojo persistent and then transform it to xml then the a lot of hibernate specific data like "bag" can be found in the resuling xml file, see the file below for the result:

BEFORE PERSISTENCE:

<com.Co id="1">
<clauses id="2">
<comC id="3">
...

AFTER PERSISTENCE

<com.Co id="1">
<clauses class="net.sf.hibernate.collection.Bag" id="2">
<bag id="3">
<com.C id="4">
...

Can anyone explain this behaviour? Why is my pojo different after it has been made persistent, what is hibernate doing behind the scenes?

Grtz

Hibernate uses its own implementation of collection classes for lazy loading. Read documentation.
