Hi,

Is there a way to filter the child objects when a collection is loaded? For example, instead of deleting objects from a database, we mark them with a "Deleted" flag. Of course, there is no way for Hibernate to know about this, so all child objects (active and deleted) are included in collections.
How can I prevent specific objects from being loaded into collections? I looked at the obvious Interceptor and LoadEventListener, but they don't seem to offer this capability.

Thanks a lot!

there is "where" attribute on collection mapping that allows this type of filtering, for example
where="deleted=0"
