How to swap @JsonBackReference and @JsonManagedReference based on which Entity is reference

Question

I\'m trying to find a way to swap the @JsonBackRefence and the @JsonManagedReference based on what entity I reference from the associated repository.

Site.java

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly the @JsonIgnoreProperties annotation should help you:

@JsonIgnoreProperties("site")
@OneToMany(mappedBy="site")
private List<Building> buildings;

@JsonIgnoreProperties("buildings")
@ManyToOne
private Site site;
