finding the classname when using proxies?

bridenour · **Posted:** Tue Feb 24, 2004 9:05 pm

hi-

Im sure there is some simple way around this, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I want to find the className of an object dynamically, and use the following:

object.getClass().getName()...

This works normally of course, but when using proxies, the name returned is not what you would expect.

Is there any way around this issue when using proxies?

Thanks!

Have you tried the Hibernate.getClass() method?

or

Code:

super.getClass().getName();

if you don't want the proxy to be initialized

how does this work? won't it just return the proxied class and not the true class taking into accout subclasses?

Code:

Class getPersistentClass(Object persistentObject ){
  if(obj instanceof Factory){ //implements cglib interface
    return obj.getClass().getSuperlass();
  }else{
    return obj.getClass();
  }

}
