Infinite Recursion with Jackson JSON and Hibernate JPA issue

Question

When trying to convert a JPA object that has a bi-directional association into JSON, I keep getting

org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: Infinite          


        

Answer 1

This worked perfectly fine for me. Add the annotation @JsonIgnore on the child class where you mention the reference to the parent class.

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "ID", nullable = false, updatable = false)
@JsonIgnore
private Member member;
