[hibernate-dev] Still true with Javassist? Any final method prevents Hibernate from creating single-ended association proxies

[Emmanuel Bernard]

If your toString method ends up calling some of the entity state (likely), the initialization won't be triggered since you will call your getters from inside the instance. So it's a good general rule to mandate non final methods on entities.
