How can I resolve `MyAcmeBundle:User` to `My\AcmeBundle\Entity\User` in Symfony2?

Question

How can I resolve logical entity names to full class names in Symfony2? Like MyAcmeBundle:User to My\AcmeBundle\Entity\User.

Answer 1

You can get the ClassMetadata from the EntityManager which will resolve the namespace into a fully qualified class name.

<?php
echo $manager->getClassMetadata('MyAcmeBundle:User')->getName();
