Hi,
is there a way con configure hibernate in a way that it should return standard java collection types instead of hibernate collections?

I ask because I have to send the query results to a remote client, where I dont want to use the hibernate jar.

of cource a workaroound is to fill all the result in the serverside in a standard collection line

List result = getResultfromHibernate();
return new ArrayList(result);

But maybe there is a nicer buil-tin way in hibernate.

thanks,
Alex.

This is not a simple problem, see this thread for more details : http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=946665
