Hi,

I am getting the aforementioned exception when attempting to serialize a POJO that contains a proxy object. A terrible hack around this is to re-construct the original object from the proxy object.

E.g
public void setClassX(ClassX classX) {
this.classX = new ClassX(classX.getName());
}

Is there a cleaner solution for this? Perhaps I need to do something to prevent this exception. It doesn't seem to be a proxy initialization issue as I've successfully accessed the object before serialization. Alternatively, is there a way to get the real object from a proxy object?

Any response will be very much appreciated.

Thanks
