First of all, Proxy is a design pattern. In sense of Hibernate, it is dynamically subclassing your object at runtime. The proxy object will contain the same methods as your object(that’s why you don’t realize that you are dealing with a proxy), and as you say the database won’t be hit until the proxy is first invoked.
