Hi All,

I'm wondering if there is any way to convert Persistent Collection into user defined collection through Hibernate Annotation? For example, if I have an @OneToMany mapping with the return collection Set, then the real implementation for the Set object I obtained should be PersistentSet. I don't want that in my implementation, so what kind of method I can use to convert PersistentSet into HashSet for example. Thanks.

The default impl. does use PersistantSet.. for all set references. You could customise this using the doc at page 257 of book Java Persistance with Hibernate. Bit complex but should be possible.
