Hi all


i have a simple question :

with hibernate 2.1.7 when i run query.list() and findAll() ...
and all methods that return a list. the return value if list was emty
is a java.util.ArrayList with zero size 0;

but sometime i get a EmptyList Object. and when i try to cast it to ArrayList
i have a CalssCastExcetion because ArrayList and EmptyList was deferent.


here my question :

whan i got EmptyList and when zero size ArrayList. ???????


please help.
thanks all.

Always cast to List when a List is to be expected, don't cast to ArrayList. The underlaying implementation of List shouldn't be your concern.

tanks Dencel..... but its not my question.


my question is :

when hibernate return me EmptyList and when it returns me zero size ArrayList ???


i just want to know it.

it seems that in previous versions of hibernate it return Empty List
and in new versions returns zero size ArrayList.

So .... look at the code?
