    How to strip AOP Proxy off entity instance

      When I retrieve an entity bean from the entity manager it will most likely be an AOP subclass. This is a problem with my custom XML serialization. So I would like to strip the AOP proxy from the instance. Lazy loading collections may safely return null or empty collections - I don't care. Currently I helped myself by roundtripping the entity bean through a remote interface. But I guess there is an easier way to narrowing such an instance. Can you give me a hint, please?
