With the new hbm2java tool, a <bag> is mapped to a Collection. After looking at the code, this is because Hiberate BagType class returns a Collection to identify the type. The bug seems to me on the hibernate side. Could anyone confirm?

Henri.

well...a bag is actually a collection....

..but in the previous hbm2java we defaulted to List since it is possible to use it as such. Please add a request to the jira so we can fix it.

Personally I think Collection is the best default. A bag is not really a List, after all.

I understand your point but it would be much more usefull to have a bag mapped to a List. Unless bag can not garantee in some circunstances the order of its elements?

Henri.

Exactly, it does not. Read the documentation.

Hi,

hdupre - a bag does not guarantee the ordering, the implementation in hibernate is just luckily an array list and thus a List can be used.

you should report the bug as an improvement to the rev.eng tools that you can override this.
