Jackson - Serialize entity with self-reference

Question

I have the following entity:

@Entity
@Table(name = \"registry_entry\")
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class RegistryEntry extends GenericEnti         


        

Answer 1

Adding this annotatin to my class resolved my issue.

@JsonIdentityInfo(generator = ObjectIdGenerators.IntSequenceGenerator.class, property = "id") 

I had a self referencing entity for which Jackson was going in infinite loop. While the property in issue was transient still Jakson was trying to serialize and giving issue.
