[FIXED] How to get a bean real class instead CGlib proxy?

Issue

I have a configuration bean:

@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "core.organizations")
public class PermissionConfig {
...
}

I want to get its real class. If I get it by method bean.getClass(), I will get CGlib proxy instead.

I have tried using AopUtils.getTargetClass(bean), AopProxyUtils.ultimateTargetClass(bean), but it returns same proxy

Solution

https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/util/ClassUtils.html#getUserClass-java.lang.Object-

You can use ClassUtils.getUserClass(Object bean) to get parent class of the CGLIB-generated subclass.
