How to recover data from a table, and store that into list?

Question

How can I get ALL the data from a table of my DB (mySQL) using hibernate, and store the output into List of Objects?

I'll use this List, to populate a JTable.

Answer 1

What about:

Query q = session.createQuery("from Foo");
List foos = q.list();

Where Foo is an entity mapped on your table. But maybe I missed something.

Answer 2

If you use findAll(), which should be a part of the GenericDAO, it returns everything as a List.
