This may seem kind of dumb, but I recently ran into a case where I have a class which is essentially a custom collection (adding runtime behavior and checks) of persistent objects. I can manually construct a new object by retrieving a collection its collection of child objects and explicitly setting it (the custom collection has no persistent data outside of the child collection). I could add a separate table and force an association using a collection-reference, but that solution really feels like a kludge to me; if possible I would really prefer to create some sort of custom mapper and then use OJB to transparently query from the custom collection class. If this isn't feasible now I understand, but it would be a really nice piece of functionality.

Thanks,
