[rules-users] Hibernate proxy objects equality tests failing in Drools 5

[Greg Barton]

Do you need the lazy loading functionality that proxies provide?  It seems to me that if you have an EJB call that's providing the objects loaded from hibernate, that's probably not the case. (i.e. once the objects are loaded and returned by the EJB method, the hibernate session may no longer be available, so lazy loading could fail anyway.)  If you have access to the hibernate mapping just set lazy="false" on your class mappings.

Not to say that this use case shouldn't be addressed with drools, but if you're under a deadline... :)
