I want to set up a 1-to-many relationship, but I don't want to store the "many" objects in a standard Map or Set. I want to store them in a custom class that can provide some API into the collection (such as finding objects in the collection that meet certain business criteria). This will allow me to encapsulate this logic into one class rather than having to potentially have duplicate code throughout our application.

Can I do this in Hibernate? If so, how?

Thanks.
