Hibernate @OneToMany Relationship Causes Infinite Loop Or Empty Entries in JSON Result

Question

I have two entities, an entity \"movie\" and an entity \"Clip\" each clip belongs to one movie and a movie can have multiple clips.

My code looks like:

Answer 1

Need to add @JsonIgnore in child class to avoid such exception. Be careful not to add this annotation in Parent class

@Entity  
@Table(name="Movie")
public class Movie implements Serializable{

@OneToMany(mappedBy="movie",targetEntity=Clip.class,cascade=CascadeType.ALL,
fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
private Set clips = new HashSet();

}

@Entity  
@Table(name="Clip")
public class Clip implements Serializable{   
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="movie_id")
    @JsonIgnore
    private Movie movie;
}
