For those who came here looking to find the solution for Apache CXF-based RESTful service, the configuration that fixes it is below:

Where HibernateAwareObjectMapper is defined as:

public class HibernateAwareObjectMapper extends ObjectMapper {
    public HibernateAwareObjectMapper() {
        registerModule(new Hibernate5Module());
    }

The following dependency is required as of June 2016 (provided you're using Hibernate5):

    com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype
    jackson-datatype-hibernate5
    2.7.4
