Illegal attempt to map a non collection as a @OneToMany, @ManyToMany or @CollectionOfElements

hibernate出现Illegal attempt to map a non collection as a @OneToMany, @ManyToMany or @CollectionOfElements:com.model.user.course
的原因可能是user实体类中course这个列表不是List类型的，可能是它的子类型比如说ArrayList，如果要把一个ArrayList列表OneToMany应该这样

List course = new ArrayList<>();
