Yes, I'm using Hibernate. Thanks for the tip. Using commoneclipse generates
bad practice code habit. One should always be aware of what's been generated
by a tool.

I'm assuming you're using Hibernate. I don't know if you'll have issues
with iBatis. My opinion is that you're better off omitting collections from
your toString method. The reason is that if the collections are lazy-loaded,
and you call the toString method outside of the session, you could get a
lazy loading exception if the members of those collections haven't been
initialized.
You don't want something simple like log.info("My foo is: " + foo) to only
work inside of a session.
