I have a abstract class User with 2 subclasses Particulier and Entreprise define with the following mapping :

<class name="com.cfort.utilisateur.Utilisateur" table="utilisateur" discriminator-value="U">
<id name="identifiant" column="identifiant" type="string" length="20">
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>
<discriminator column="type" type="character"/>
<property name="dateAbonnement" type="date"/>
<property name="datePaiement" type="date"/>
<property name="modeReglement">
<column name="modeReglement" sql-type="varchar(30)"/>
</property>
<property name="nbPoints" type="integer"/>
<subclass name="com.cfort.utilisateur.Particulier" discriminator-value="P">
<property name="nom" type="string" length="30"/>
<property name="prenom" type="string" length="30"/>
<property name="dateNaissance" type="date"/>
</subclass>
<subclass name="com.cfort.utilisateur.Entreprise" discriminator-value="U">
<property name="raisonSociale" type="string" length="60"/>
<property name="nbSalarie" type="integer"/>
<property name="numInsee" type="string" length="20"/>
</subclass>

</class>

When i retrieve a user, how can i test if it's a Particulier's instance or a Enterprise's instance in order to access the specificities of such an instance.
Can someone show me the piece of code .

Thanks

Q for the experts - would this work with proxied objects?
