How to know original class name if wrapped into proxy by Spring?

I am trying to obtain some classes name by getClass().getSimpleName() under Spring and it returns something like 

MyClass$$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$SOMEHEX

This is probably because Spring wraps the class into proxy.

Is there any portable way to obtain original class name?

Solution

  • Spring provides a utility for this.

    http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/util/ClassUtils.html#getUserClass-java.lang.Class-

    public static Class<?> getUserClass(Class<?> clazz)

    "Return the user-defined class for the given class: usually simply the given class, but the original class in case of a CGLIB-generated subclass."
