Doctrine Proxy Class Serialization

[leevigraham]

Hey guys,

I think I've setup the bundle correctly using the instructions in the FOS Rest bundle documentation. However when viewing either .xml or .json I get the following error:

[Semantical Error] The annotation "@OverRide" in method Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo::_validateAndCompleteOneToOneMapping() was never imported.

I'm using Symfony2 Standard with the master branch of the metadata bundle.

Here's my full config.yml, stacktrace and deps files: https://gist.github.com/1240315

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Leevi

Strangely removing the @OverRide comment from the ClassMetadataInfo class results in a timeout.

upgrade Doctrine Common to the 2.1.x branch instead of the 2.1.1 release. This annotation is now ignored by default

As discussed on IRC, the main problem here is that Doctrine generates a proxy object to allow a relation to be lazy-loaded. The possible solutions to this are:

1. Either exclude the relation if you don't want to serialize it, or actively query the relation from the database.
2. Use a pre-serialize callback to initialize the relation (more of a workaround)

I'll leave this ticket open for reference, not sure if we can find, or need a better solution.

Thanks for checking this out guys.

Hi,
same issue here.
Isn't it possible to call a "wake up" method to fetch the related object and serialize it insted of Doctrine Proxy class?

[stefanosala]

I managed to solve it by specifing a exclusion_policy: ALL for my Proxy class (FooBundleEntityUserProxy).
Don't know if this is the best method.

Proxies should now be initialized automatically thanks to @yethee. Please try out the latest version.
