Jackson bidirectional relationship (One-to-many) not working

Question

I\'m using Spring(xml+annotations), Hibernate(annotations) in this web service project. The database relationship diagram, models, expected and actual output are given below

Answer 1

This seems pretty old but let me put my coins here as well; I would seperate the entity and model. Means;

> Client <-> Application : Models
> 
> Application <-> Database : Entities

And your service layer or whatever layer you process data should make the conversion between entities and models.

1. You get rid of recursion by returning data as your wish.
2. You split the definitions between two different communication channels. This way you can decide what to show to your client and how to show your client as well. This will save your DB schema be exposed directly too.
3. You can extend model as per your wish without touching to the DB backend.
