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

I had this problem. Thanks for idea,

This is the code:

// $object is a Proxy class
$objectClass = get_class($object);
$reflectionClass = new \ReflectionClass($objectClass);

// Make sure we are not using a Proxy class
if ($obj instanceof Proxy) {
    $reflClass = $reflClass->getParentClass();
}

Another way, if you just need to read annotations:

// $object is a Proxy class
$objectClass = get_class($object);
$classMetadata = $this->em->getClassMetadata($objectClass);

foreach ($classMetadata->getReflectionProperties() as $property) {
    $annotation = $this->annotationReader->getPropertyAnnotation($property, YOUR_ANNOTATION::class)
}

Not absolutely related to original question, but I hope this will help some people...
