We have our own way of storing collections and maps using the Converter mechanism. The new Collections support breaks our application because it assumes that the column that has the same name as our property contains collection info. when in fact it contains the entire collection in one column.

I realize the value of having default support for Collections, however it is reasonable to first check for a custom converter before applying default Collections support. At the very least HOM should have a way to turn it off. Either one of these solutions is benign to the general user yet flexible to HOM users who prefer serializing collections their own way.
