Casting a Spring's Proxy object to the actual runtime class

Question

I\'m using Spring, at one point I would like to cast the object to its actual runtime implementation.

Example:

Class MyClass extends NotMyClass {
            


        

Answer 1

For me version from EDIT 2 didn't worked. Below one worked:

@SuppressWarnings({"unchecked"})
protected  T getTargetObject(Object proxy) throws Exception {
    while( (AopUtils.isJdkDynamicProxy(proxy))) {
        return (T) getTargetObject(((Advised)proxy).getTargetSource().getTarget());
    }
    return (T) proxy; // expected to be cglib proxy then, which is simply a specialized class
}

Usage:

    UserServicesImpl serviceImpl = getTargetObject(serviceProxy);
    serviceImpl.setUserDao(userDAO);
