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.

Hi all,
excuse me if this list isn't indented for such a question, but I asked this question
about a year ago in the forums
without any answers and I think it should be easy to answer for any Hibernate core
developer:
According to Hibernate's (3.6.5) reference documentaion (Section 21.1.3, Single-ended
association proxies),
such a single-ended association proxy can't be constructed by Hibernate if it
contains "any final methods".
My question is, does this restriction apply to getters/setters of persistent fields only
or really to any method in an entity class?
As far as I can see Javassist is able to modify final methods as well and even if it were
not, why should a method like
public final String toString() {
return "...";
}
prevent Hibernate from using a proxy?
Thanks in advance,
Robin.
