i have a class mapped in many-to-one relationship with lazy="true", when i call GetType() form this class i get a type of a Proxy instead of the type of my class.
If i set lazy="false" all works fine.

Sorry my english

Hibernate version: NHibernate 1.2.0.GA
.NET framework: 1.1

This is not a problem, this is expected.

Maybe i'm confused but i try to explain it better with a example:

I have two classes with this map:


if parent is a instance of a persisted Parent:
parent.child.GetType(); its returns a type of a Proxy of NHibernate

but if turn lazy="false":


when a i call parent.child.GetType(); it return the type of Child, and i think that's the expected i both cases, cause in the 2 examples parent.child is a instance of Child independently of the way that is "hydrated".

I hope it's be more clear, and thaks for your time.

Well, due to the fact that NHibernate proxies are subclasses of the proxied types, of course if you call proxy.GetType(), you are going to get the proxy type. If you enable lazy loading, you get a proxy, if you don't enable lazy loading, you don't get a proxy.

You can use NHibernateUtil.GetClass to find the underlying real type of a proxy.

Symon.

Ok, thanks for answer me. I just wonder why the Proxy not overrides GetType() to return the type of the real class, but i was wrong.
Thanks again

A proxy can't override GetType() because it's not overridable (for a good reason, otherwise how would you find out the real type of an object?).

Exactly, thats was my mistake
