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);
