yeah I wondered about that too, you're right as it will potentially try to persist the collection
since the method converts inline you'll need to do this instead (calling the new collection yourself) : List anotherList = new ArrayList(entity.getSubEntities()); getSubEntityDAO().toSubEntityVOCollection(anotherList) that way you aren't touching the entity's association I see you point though, you're saying that the added value of doing the conversion inline does not outweigh the ease of programming, since it's a bit counter intuitive I have no preference personally, I guess we could always have another method that returns a new collection, file an issue in JIRA if you'ld like to see that -- Wouter Zoons - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.andromda.org/ _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1893#1893 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
