- Method Detail
  - extractLazyInitializer
```
static LazyInitializer extractLazyInitializer(Object object)
```
    Extract the LazyInitializer from the object, if and only if the object is actually an HibernateProxy. If not, null is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - any entity
    
    Returns:
    
    either null (if object is not an HibernateProxy) or the LazyInitializer of the HibernateProxy.
  - writeReplace
```
Object writeReplace()
```
    Perform serialization-time write-replacement of this proxy.
    
    Returns:
    
    The serializable proxy replacement.
  - getHibernateLazyInitializer
```
LazyInitializer getHibernateLazyInitializer()
```
    Get the underlying lazy initialization handler.
    
    Returns:
    
    The lazy initializer.
  - asHibernateProxy
```
default HibernateProxy asHibernateProxy()
```
    Special internal contract to optimize type checking
    
    Specified by:
    
    asHibernateProxy in interface PrimeAmongSecondarySupertypes
    
    Returns:
    
    this same instance
