Hi Niko Wittenbeck, Chris Cranford,

So the problematic method is:

  public Generic.Type $$_hibernate_read_entity()
  {
    if ($$_hibernate_getInterceptor() != null) {
      super.$$_hibernate_write_entity((Marker)$$_hibernate_getInterceptor().readObject(this, "entity", super.$$_hibernate_read_entity()));
    }
    return super.$$_hibernate_read_entity();
  }

with super.$$_hibernate_read_entity() returning a Marker.

I don't have a lot of experience in bytecode enhancement but the return type looks fine, considering entity is coming from private T entity;, which is a Generic.Type in this case.

I wonder if the right fix wouldn't be to cast the return value i.e. having:

return (Generic.Type) super.$$_hibernate_read_entity();

What do you all think?
