[TYPO3-dev] How to make Validation happy when returning QueryResult as Model Property

[g4-lisz at tonarchiv.ch]

Hi there,

I know (once again...) that this is not the way to do things. But it's
the only way to get related objects ordered:

Repository:
    public function findByStandort(Tx_Hplusinfo_Domain_Model_Klinik
$klinik) {
        $query = $this->createQuery();
           ....
        $query->setOrderings(array(
            'sort' =>
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryInterface::ORDER_ASCENDING,
            'foo' => Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryInterface::ORDER_ASCENDING,
        ));
        return $query->execute();
    }

Model Class:
        /**
         * Returns the zerts
         *
         * @return Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage
         */
        public function getZerts() {
                $repository =
$this->objectManager->get('Tx_Myext_Domain_Repository_ZertRepository');

                return $repository->findAndSortByXY($this);
        }

This results in a "The given subject was not a collection" validation
error for ClassXY.zert. O.k. maybe it's not a collection, but it does
everything it needs to do...

To make the vailidator happy I could use return
$repository->findAndSortByXY($this)->toArray();
But this is not nice, neather.

Any idea?
