Answer 1

I also faced this issue, but resolved it.

//This is parent class
@Entity
@Table(name = "checklist")
@JsonIgnoreProperties("inspection")
public class Checklist implements java.io.Serializable {

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "product_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    @JsonBackReference
    private Product product;

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "checklists", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @JsonManagedReference
    private Set inspection = new HashSet();
//Constructor
//Getter and Setter
}

//This is child class
@Entity
@Table(name = "inspections")
public class Inspection {

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "chk_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private Checklist checklists;
//Constructor
//Getter and Setter
}

By mentioning @JsonIgnoreProperties("inspection") and @JsonManagedReference.

Resolved the issue raised by using two @JSONBackRefrence in same parent class.
