// Howto handle hibernate lists:
// - a new owner: the owner is persisted and its lists are replaced with hibernate
// persistentlist, the hibernate persitentlist will have a delegate (internally) which is the list which was previously
// present in the owner.
// - an existing owner: the owner is read from the db and hibernate will set a persistentlist
// directly
//
// The solution also needs to handle the following:
// - cdo does not have direct java references but stores cdoids in the list while hibernate expects real java object
// references.
// - cdo uses a moveablearraylist and not the standard arraylist
// 
// The solution:
// - never return null when hibernate asks for the current value of the manyreference, always
// return a MoveableArrayList so that hibernate uses that as the delegate, set the MoveableArrayList
