Hibernate Proxies – Why they’re used and How to Unproxy them

Hibernate generates proxies to provide lazy loading for to-one associations, and you can use them to improve the performance of some of your write operations. You might have seen the class names of these proxies in your debugger or some log messages. They consist of the name of your entity class and a postfix that depends on your Hibernate version and the bytecode manipulation library that Hibernate uses internally.

In this video I will show you how to detect if an object is a proxy, a common pitfall when working with a proxy object, how to initialize its attributes, and how to unproxy it to get the underlying entity object.
