Originally created by @doctrinebot on GitHub (Dec 17, 2009).

Jira issue originally created by user itoijala:

Calling toArray on a PersistentCollection does not initialize the collection. This means that a not yet initialized collection returns an empty array. This is not expected behavior. The user expects the collection to be initialized and the objects returned. Calling count first is a workaround to initialize the array because count calls _initialize.

A use case is an accessor wanting to return an array to not expose the collection to modification.
