Getting a “true” object from a proxy object in doctrine2

Question

Doctrine uses proxy objects to represent related objects in order to facilitate lazy loading. This is a really cool feature, but its causing an issue with something I am trying

Answer 1

Here is my solution:

Context:

All my entities have id property and getId() method

---

Solution:

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

// 1 -> get the proxy object class name
$proxy_class_name = get_class($proxyObject);

// 2 -> get the real object class name
$class_name = $em->getClassMetadata($proxy_class_name)->rootEntityName;

// 3 -> get the real object
$object = $em->find($class_name, $proxyObject->getId());

---

Problem:

This solution don't work if id property and getId() method are in a Trait class

I hope that it can help someone
