non-lazyloading of entity returns PersistentCollection but not ArrayCollection

[santiago]

Hi guys, I've the following Brand entity, my entity service did received the "category" content(the "category" collection contains real Category entity), but the "category" collection is a PersistentCollection but not ArrayCollection, can anyone help? Thanks.

@Entity
public class Brand extends AbstractEntity {


@ManyToMany(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
 @ElementCollection(targetClass=Category.class)
 @JoinTable(name = "brand_category", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "brand_id", referencedColumnName = "id") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "category_id", referencedColumnName = "id") })
 private Set<Category> category;
}

All persistent collections on the server are always wrapped in a PersistentCollection on the client, lazy or not.
