Hibernate version: 3.2.1

Hello,

Here is an excerpt of my equal method:



My problem is that following return always false :

and

which poses problems in the future.

This problem doesn't happen all the time. Only when using a proxy and a transient object.
e.g. myPersistentObject.equals(myTransientObject) or vice versa.

The casting do work, but it's unsafe as long I haven't checked the class.
I'm using the cglib bytecode.

How can I check that my method argument is of the same class as the class on which the equals is called?

Thx in advance for any input.

You may consider to call Hibernate.getClass(obj) for the object...

Note that this would initialize the proxy...

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/proxy/HibernateProxyHelper.html#getClassWithoutInitializingProxy(java.lang.Object)

doesnt intialize the proxy..
