The Home.findAll() method returns a Collection. Collection.size() returns
an int with the number of items in the collection. This implies a limit
of Integer.MAX_VALUE to the number of objects you can iterate over in a
collection but I don't know what the boundary behavior of the beans and
the Collection implementations are.
