Howto get proxied object for dependency injection

If you need to get the proxied object, use this code:

protected ‹T› T getTargetObject(Object proxy, Class‹T› targetClass) throws Exception {
   if (AopUtils.isJdkDynamicProxy(proxy)) {
      return (T) ((Advised)proxy).getTargetSource().getTarget();
   } else {
      return (T) proxy; 
   }
}

Code is taken from this blogpost http://www.techper.net/2009/06/05/how-to-acess-target-object-behind-a-spring-proxy/
