getIdentifierMethod of BasicLazyInitializer does not match if method invoked through an interface with different return type ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3502 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3502 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Reporter: Sean Bridges Priority: Minor I have an entity interface, public interface IEntity { public Object getId(); } and I have an entity, say User that implements this interface with an id method @Id public Long getId() { return id; } I can call getId() on an uninitialized proxy with, user.getId() however, if I call getId() in this way, ((IEntity) user)).getId() I get org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: could not initialize proxy - no Session Looking at the code, BasicLazyInitializer has these lines, else if ( isUninitialized() && method.equals(getIdentifierMethod) ) { return getIdentifier(); } the method.equals(getIdentifierMethod) returns false. The methods are not equal() because they have different return types (this is allowed in 1.5 with covariant return types). Hibernate should not use Method.equals(), but should instead use the code below (modified from Method.equals(Object)), public boolean equalsIgnoringReturnType(Method m1, Method m2) { if ((m1.getDeclaringClass() != m2.getDeclaringClass()) { return false; } if (m1.getName() != m2.getName()) { return false; } Class[] params1 = m1.getParameterTypes(); Class[] params2 = m2.getParameterTypes(); if (params1.length != params2.length) { return false; } for (int i = 0; i < params1.length; i++) { if (params1[i] != params2[i]) return false; } return true; } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
