I’m trying to fix a bug in one of my programs which I think might be due to Hibernate figuring out how to instantiate an instance of an object without calling its default (or any other) constructor.

Actually, yes, it is possible to bypass the constructor when you instantiate an object, if you use objenesis to instantiate the object for you. It does bytecode manipulations to achieve this.
Deserializing an object will also bypass the constructor.
It isn’t possible to do this using reflection.
