Replacing HibernateProxy witha custom proxy and using custom interceot methods ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1536 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1536 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: geminygirl1 I am really sorry to post this here. I am sure that user forums would have been a better place to post this. But I have been waiting for almost two weeks now and I am still not able to log on to teh user forums and since I am running out of time I am going ahead and posting it here. I just need some help to figure out how is it is at all possible, can I use a custom Proxy rather than HibernateProxy or may be use some callback to replace the proxy by my own proxy. My problem is that I need to generate some custom exceptions if a proxy is invoked outside the hibernate session. I understand I am new to Hibernate but beieve me I have gone through user forums and issue lists but I am not able to get any straightforward solution and also not able to get any detailed documentation. Like I know that in teh hbm file we have an attribute proxy but I am not really sure exactly what this would do or how it would impact teh working of Hibernate. I would appreciate if you could point me to some example or article... anything at all. I really do not want to traverse the whole object graph and replace the HibernateProxies with custom proxy. In short iw ant to avoid the extra object traversal.
