Can I get set<MyEntity> instead of Indirect Set in one to many relationship [message #997588]

Hi,

I have self reference one-to-many relationship(children) in a Entity Domain. The getter method (getChildren()) returns Set<Domain>.

The children are loaded lazily.
When I call getChildren() what I am getting is actually IndirectSet.
The actual children can be accessed using "delegate".

I have a scenarion where I need to be able to access the children recursively using getChildren() not getDeligate()

Is that possible?

We are using eclipselink version 2.4.0

IndirectSet is a Set, so I don't see your issue? What kind of Set do you want, the point of the Set interface is that the implementation does not matter.

If you make the relationship EAGER it will use HashSet by default instead.
