I'm using a <list> to represent a collection for one of my business objects, but when the results get returned to me I get more than expected. For example, when I expect to have a collection of 3 objects I actually get one with 47 objects, 3 of which are the actual ones and the rest just being null (or nothing). What am I doing wrong?

Here's an example of my mapping files...

<class name="Cart" table="tCarts" proxy="ICart">
<id name="ID" column="ID">
<generator class="native" />
</id>

<list name="CartItems" lazy="false" fetch="join" cascade="save-update">
<key column="CartID" />
<index column="ID" />
<one-to-many class="CartItem" />
</list>
</class>

<class name="CartItem" table="tCartItems" proxy="ICartItem">
<id name="ID" column="ID">
<generator class="native" />
</id>

<many-to-one name="ParentCart" column="CartID" class="Cart" fetch="join" />
</class>

After looking into it a little bit it seems that when a new snapshot of the current state of my collection gets returned, a temporary List<T> is being instantiated with the size of the current collection state, which is 47. Then a deep copy of each object in that collection is being added into the temporary one, which is later returned when done. But why would my current snapshot have 47 items in it when every sql statement that is generated only returns 3 items (I ran the generated sql manually and it worked as I thought it would)?

Oops... Nevermind, it would help if I read some of the documentation before I posted :-p
