[SOLVED] Hibernate Native SQL Query retrieving entities and collections

Hibernate Native SQL Query retrieving entities and collections

This is my situation, I have two basic POJO's which I've given a simple hibernate mapping :

Person
  - PersonId
  - Name
  - Books

Book
  - Code
  - Description

My SQL Query returns rows that look like this :

PERSONID NAME       CODE DESCRIPTION
-------- ---------- ---- -----------
1        BEN        1234 BOOK 1
1        BEN        5678 BOOK 2
2        JOHN       9012 BOOK 3

My hibernate query looks like this :

session.createSQLQuery("select personid, name, code, description from person_books")  
       .addEntity("person", Person.class)
       .addJoin("book", "person.books")
       .list();

This is per section : 18.1.3 of the hibernate documentation : http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.6/reference/en-US/html/querysql.html#d0e17464

What I expect to get in my list is 2 Person Objects with the contained book objects in the collection of books :

List
 |- Ben
 |   |- Book 1
 |   '- Book 2
 '- John
     '- Book 3

What I am actually seeing is this :

List
 |- Object[]
 |   |- Ben
 |   |   |- Book 1
 |   |   '- Book 2
 |   '- Book 1
 |- Object[]
 |   |- Ben
 |   |   |- Book 1
 |   |   '- Book 2
 |   '- Book 2
 '- Object[]
     |- John
     |   '- Book 3
     '- Book 3

Does anyone know if it's possible to get what I want using this method?
