Getting the real class name from proxies

[hucmuc]

I have a simple beans with interceptors bound to them.

My code is :

Person person1 = (Person) beanFactory.getBean("person1");
Person person2 = (Person) beanFactory.getBean("person2");

System.out.println("person1: " + person1.getClass().getName());
System.out.println("person2: " + person2.getClass().getName());

It prints out:

person1: $Proxy0
person2: PersonImpl$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$dbf2c774

which is what I expected since my application context has been configured as such.

However, how do I get the "actual" class name (eg. PersonImpl?) from the proxied object?

Dino,

This should help in returning the name of the class that you are looking for :

((org.springframework.aop.framework.Advised)person 1).getTargetSource().getTarget()

Thanks,

((org.springframework.aop.framework.Advised)person 1).getTargetSource().getTarget()

I'm not sure if this still works if there is more than one interceptor. I would guess that from the first interceptor you get the class of the second one. Not tested, though.

it should work even if you have multiple interceptors. I have tested the same.
