Hibernate tool :: how to generate List instead of Set

Hi,

I am using hibernate tools ( JBossTools-3.0.3 ) and generating POJOs and mapping from it.
It generates Set for the relational mappings in POJO's but i want to have List.

Any help please????

To have a list you an index field which we dont have a means to recognize.

Thus Set is the proper/correct mapping.

hi max

I have exactly the same requirment where i want List instead of a Set.

I am just curious why is hibernate designed in such a way that we need to know the INDEX for list and not for Set?

In our project we use List all over the place and now we are migrating to hibernate. So to convert all List to set is a pain.

thanks.
