problems loading aop-proxied bean with hibernate

[giga]

i'am trying to load a user bean from db via hibernate. the user bean is a session-scoped bean (aop-proxy). i've added the ScopedBeanInterceptor, so now i don't get an unknown enitity exception anymore.

but when i'm trying to load it with session.load() the bean afterwards hasn't changed.
spring-config:

<bean id="user" class="testapp.models.User" scope="session">
		<aop:scoped-proxy/>
	</bean>

java-dao-code:

public void findById(User user, Long id) {
		if (user == null)
			throw new IllegalArgumentException("user is NULL");
		if (id == null)
			throw new IllegalArgumentException("id is NULL");

		Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();

		user.setName("unset");
		session.load(user, u.getId());
		LOG.debug("user '" + user.getName() + "' found!"); // user 'unset' found!
		
		session.close();
	}

when i call the dao-function with a new instance of User and id 1 it works (log-message is user 'Administrator' found!), but when i call it with an aop-proxied User and id 1 i get the log-message user 'unset' found!

can you help me?

That simply is never going to work... You would need to copy the properties of the hibernate loaded entity to the session scoped bean. A session scoped bean is something else as a hibernate entity.
