Force hibernate tools to use map instead set

Hi

I've last Hibernate tools Eclipse plugin and used it to reverse engineering a MySQL DB.

Everything went well except that it generates sets like this:

Code:

 <set name="nreferences" inverse="true">
            <key>
                <column name="notification_id" not-null="true">
                    <comment></comment>
                </column>
            </key>
            <one-to-many class="com.bs.proteo.notifications.bl.beans.Nreference" />
        </set>

My application is an Axis 1.3 web service and it transforms sets to array of objects so I prefere to use java.util.map.

How could I force Hibernate Tools to generate maps instead sets or how could I transform the above set to map ?

Thanks in advance

there is not enough information in a db to figure out you want a map instead of a set.

read hibernate reference on using <map>
