Hi all,
I'm an intermediate user of Hibernate. I'm mapping a java.util.List in Hibernate. It is an object that is kept in session between webpage accesses. It loads the structure fine but a couple of webpages later, the PersistentList is replaced by an ArrayList losing all my elements. I have searched forum but no one seems to use <list> and no references to PersistentList issues? I put in break points to prove my code is not stuffing the arrayList.

Hibernate version: 3.1.3
