Hi Matias,
what you get is not a subclass of Category. Instead it looks like hibernate returns a proxy to a Category that is constructed by using cglib.

I have a class like this:
class Category {
public Long getId(); public void setId(); public String getName(); public void setName();
}
I want to marshal it, so I use Castor (Marshal.marshal(myCategory, out)) and get
<category> <id>x</id> <name>y</name> </category>
However I'm also using Hibernate in the persistence layer, so when I fetch a Category from the database and then try the same.. I get a lot of exceptions from Hibernate.
I printed the class name of the "Category" object fetched from the database, and is something like Category$$CGLIB$ef0ob$. So Hibernate is actually returning an object of a subclass of Category, with some getters added, that cause the problem.
I thought a solution was using a mapping file, but my problem is that I don't know the name of the class I want to marshall, I only know it's a subclass of Category.
So
<mapping> <class name="Category"> </class> </mapping>
doesn't work.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Matias.
