                sumInsured = (Double) b[6];
                if(b[8] == null) {
                    agentName = "";
                    agentNo = "";
                } else {
                    Agent a = (Agent) b[8];
                    agentName = a.getName();
                    agentNo = a.getCodeNo();
                }
                insuredPersonList = (List<ProposalInsuredPerson>)  b[9];

Answer 1

Ok, I'll answer as far as I can, based on the code you show here. You loop over your resultset and at index 9 of the returned objects you receive a ProposalInsuredPerson object. Since you want the whole list, I recommend adding this object to a List implementation ( ArrayList comes to mind) which is declared and instantiated outside of your for loop.

So something like that will fix your problem:

List insuredPersonList = new ArrayList();

for () {
// your code here

// ...
  insuredPersonList.add((ProposalInsuredPerson) b[9]);
}

Answer 2

Have you tried rewriting your query like this:

query.append("SELECT f.id, f.submittedDate, f.proposalNo, f.customer, f.organization, pi.proposedPremium, pi.proposedSumInsured, s.date, " +
                    "f.agent, f FROM LifeProposal f,LifeSurvey s INNER JOIN f.proposalInsuredPersonList pi where f.id = s.lifeProposal.id and f.id is not null");

ie replacing f.proposalInsuredPersonList with whole f

and the on the last line do this:

insuredPersonList = ((LifeProposal) b[9]).getProposalInsuredPersonList();
