I would like to get an unproxied instance of a bean so that another module won't break as it throws an exception indicating the object I'm passing to it isn't of the right type.
Is this possible, if so how? I don't want to create a new instance of the object because it already has some state saved. I am hoping there is a short and quick way for me to get the actual object from the proxied instance.
You can't in a none implementation specific way, and you shouldn't.
The only thing you can do is to use a scope that doesnt need proxies. The two common ones are @javax.enterprise.context.Dependent and @javax.inject.Singleton.
Depending on use case you might be able to wrap it in an @Dependent scope been.
