How to convert a Hibernate proxy to a real entity object
Here's a method I'm using.
public static <T> T initializeAndUnproxy(T entity) {
if (entity == null) {
throw new
NullPointerException("Entity passed for initialization is null");
}
Hibernate.initialize(entity);
if (entity instanceof HibernateProxy) {
entity = (T) ((HibernateProxy) entity).getHibernateLazyInitializer()
.getImplementation();
}
return entity;
}
Since Hibernate ORM 5.2.10, you can do it likee this:
Object unproxiedEntity = Hibernate.unproxy(proxy);
Before Hibernate 5.2.10. the simplest way to do that was to use the unproxy method offered by Hibernate internal PersistenceContext
implementation:
Object unproxiedEntity = ((SessionImplementor) session)
.getPersistenceContext()
.unproxy(proxy);
