Hi,

I am using Hibernate 3.1 version.
Is it possible that hibernate can return a collection in which some of the elements are null?

I am experiencing a strange problem. I have one-to-many relationship between A and B and when I do A.getB() hibernate is giving me a collection of B. Hibernate is returning a collection with expected results but also with one null element in the collection.

Why is it inserting a null element in the collection. What is causing this? How can I avoid this.

Thanks,
csr

Which collection are you using ??

Is it an ordered collection like list?

If so then its possible. Hibernate tries to find all elements starting with order 0 till the max in the list, any elements with the index between 0 and max not found are set to null.
