- Method Detail
  - extractLazyInitializer
```
static @Nullable LazyInitializer extractLazyInitializer(@Nullable Object object)
```
    Extract the LazyInitializer from the given object, if and only if the object is actually a proxy. Otherwise, return a null value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - any reference to an entity
    
    Returns:
    
    the associated LazyInitializer if the given object is a proxy, or null otherwise.
  - writeReplace
```
Object writeReplace()
```
    Perform serialization-time write-replacement of this proxy.
    
    Returns:
    
    The serializable proxy replacement.
  - getHibernateLazyInitializer
```
LazyInitializer getHibernateLazyInitializer()
```
    Get the lazy initialization handler for this object.
    
    Returns:
    
    The associated LazyInitializer.
  - asHibernateProxy
```
@Internal
default HibernateProxy asHibernateProxy()
```
    Special internal contract to optimize type checking.
    
    Specified by:
    
    asHibernateProxy in interface PrimeAmongSecondarySupertypes
    
    Returns:
    
    this instance
