subclass lazy fetching returns wrong object ------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-271 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-271 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.0 rc 1 Reporter: Michael Kopp I have a table per hierarchy mapping with discriminators. Another class has a many-to-one relation to the root class. When my program accesses the getter for this many-to-one relation, it should get a subclass of the root class. What it gets is a CGLIB proxy of the root class (com.j2fe.workflow.definition.Node$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$63e262e8). When I turn of lazy fetching on the root class (Node) everything works as expected. I have another class with a one-to-many collection of the root class. If I iterate through this before accessing the many-to-one getter, It also works correctly. One important note at last, the discriminator is set to force.
