Hi,

Hibernate will load a list of objects when we call iterate() or createSQLQuery(). And so far I have found that a list's lifecycle will end when we close the session that we use to load it.

So, I if I want to display the object in the list in my JSP, I always iterate the list, and save the objects to an array list or vector. After that I will iterate this array list / vector in my JSP or Controller to display the object stored inside.

I really hate all this loop. Is there any method in hibernate that will return a persistent list. What I mean by a persistent list is that this list will not be closed or nullified when we close the session in hibernate.

Thanks in advance.

No, it returns a list when you call list() or find()!




This is not correct.

An Iterator returned by iterate() is only valid for the length of a transaction (for obvious reasons - it wraps a ResultSet), but this does not apply to Lists.

Aplogies for my lack of understanding on the List concept. I run more test on the createSQLQuery(), and when I close the session the List is not nullified. This way i do not need to do double looping.

Thanks
