    public void setId_author(List<IssueMsg> id_author) {
        this.id_author = id_author;
    }
}

And class Company

@Entity
@Table(name = "companies")

public class Company implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 6255059577246367312L;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id_company;
    private String name;
    private String adress;
    private String email;
    private String phone;
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "company")
    @JsonManagedReference
    private List<User> user;

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Company [id_company=" + id_company + ", name=" + name
                + ", adress=" + adress + ", email=" + email + ", phone="
                + phone + "]";
    }

    public Company() {
    }

    public Company(Long id_company, String name, String adress, String email,
            String phone) {
        this.id_company = id_company;
        this.name = name;
        this.adress = adress;
        this.email = email;
        this.phone = phone;
    }

    public Long getId_company() {
        return id_company;
    }

    public void setId_company(Long id_company) {
        this.id_company = id_company;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getAdress() {
        return adress;
    }

    public void setAdress(String adress) {
        this.adress = adress;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getPhone() {
        return phone;
    }

    public void setPhone(String phone) {
        this.phone = phone;
    }
    public List<User> getUser() {
        return user;
    }

    public void setUser(List<User> user) {
        this.user = user;
    }

}

I getting all result from database, and returning this as response body.

My JSON response get user.company.user list and i don't need what. I was try add on getter company user @JsonIgnore but i getting error

 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: No serializer found for class org.hibernate.proxy.pojo.javassist.JavassistLazyInitializer and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) ) (through reference chain: java.util.ArrayList[1]->projektzespolowy.model.User["company"]->projektzespolowy.model.Company_$$_jvstcb8_2["handler"])

I read many post about fix thix but no one help. This is possible to ignore this user list in company?

Answer 1

I think you are getting this exception because User#company is lazy fetched so jackson tries to serialize a hibernate proxy. Try with fetch = FetchType.EAGER on the mapping, or call user.getCompany() in the controller prior to returning the results.
