- - ### Field Detail

    - #### PRESERVE_TARGET_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE

          public static final String PRESERVE_TARGET_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE

      Bean definition attribute that may indicate whether a given bean is supposed to be proxied with its target class (in case of it getting proxied in the first place). The value is `Boolean.TRUE` or `Boolean.FALSE`.

      Proxy factories can set this attribute if they built a target class proxy for a specific bean, and want to enforce that that bean can always be cast to its target class (even if AOP advices get applied through auto-proxying).

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AutoProxyUtils

          public AutoProxyUtils()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### shouldProxyTargetClass

          public static boolean shouldProxyTargetClass(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory,
                                       String beanName)

      Determine whether the given bean should be proxied with its target class rather than its interfaces. Checks the `"preserveTargetClass" attribute` of the corresponding bean definition.
      Parameters:
        `beanFactory` - the containing ConfigurableListableBeanFactory
        `beanName` - the name of the bean
      Returns:
        whether the given bean should be proxied with its target class
