@JsonIgnore and @JsonBackReference are being Ignored

Question

I\'m working with RestEasy, Jboss 7 and EJB 3.1. I\'m creating a RESTful web service that returns data in JSON format.

The problem is that I have a @ManyToOne<

Answer 1

i'm using spring 4.0.1 , hibernate 4.3.5 ,jackson 1.9.2 and STS IDE

i had the same exception but solved by annotating the setter by @Transient idont know why but it works fine

This is my entity classes User.class

    //i get that suggestion from some sites
    @JsonIgnoreProperties({ "hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler" })
    @Entity
    @Table(name = "user", catalog = "someSchema")    
    public class User implements java.io.Serializable {

        private String name;
        private String password;
        private String username;
        private Set telephones = new HashSet(0);

        @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "user")
        public Set getTelephones() {
            return this.telephones;
        }

        public void setTelephones(Set telephones) {
            this.telephones = telephones;
        }
    }

Telephone.class

@Entity
@Table(name = "telephone", catalog = "someSchema")
public class Telephone implements java.io.Serializable {


    private User user;
    private String telephone;

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)

    @JoinColumn(name = "user_id", nullable = false)
    public User getUser() {
        return this.user;
    }


    @Transient  
    public void setUser(User user) {
    this.user = user;
   }

}

concerning registering jackson to my application, i used xml config

and mapper class

public class HibernateAwareObjectMapper extends ObjectMapper {

    public HibernateAwareObjectMapper() {
        Hibernate4Module hm = new Hibernate4Module();
        registerModule(hm);
    }
}
