If i have a class with an array property of size 0 it becomes null after a save/load with hibernate. Is there a way to get hibernate to construct me a zero length array instead of null or do i have to munge the object by hand after i get it back?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think that you can do it entirely from the mapping but you could specify your own class in the array access attribute that created zero length arrays instead of setting a null value.
