[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-3246) Enhance Criteria#list to allow passing custom List instances

Enhance Criteria#list to allow passing custom List instances ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-3246 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3246 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Holger Haag Priority: Minor Hello, it would be great for us if Criteria#list allowed to pass instances of java.util.List: Currently there is only public List list(); This calls Session(Impl)#list, which initializes the list with CollectionHelper.EMPTY_LIST;. What I'd like additionally is public void list(final List list); The reason behind this improvement request is that in our company we often have our own list classes extending ArrayList<sometype>. These customized list classes provide methods that would otherwise have to go into static utility classes, e.g. if there is a Price class, the PriceList class (extending ArrayList<Price>) provides a total() method. So what we do to get a PriceList is (1) list = crit.list() (2) priceList = new PriceList() (3) priceList.addAll(list) which temporarily creates two lists, with one list being immediately discarded by garbage collection. Any comments on that ?
