Changing to Set is the best solution. However, if you cannot not replace the List with Set (like in my case, there was a heavy use of JSF tags specific to Lists), and if you can use Hibernate proprietary annotations, you can specify @IndexColumn (name = "INDEX_COL"). That solution worked better for me, changing to Set would require tons of refactoring.

So, your code would be something like this:

@IndexColumn (name = "INDEX_COL")
private List billPaidDetailses = new ArrayList();

@IndexColumn (name = "INDEX_COL")
private List billProductList = new ArrayList();

As Igor suggested in the comments, you could also create proxy methods to return the lists. I haven't tried that, but would be a good alternative if you cannot use Hibernate proprietary annotations.
