well, I'm new to spring. When I try to compile these codes, I'm getting the below-mentioned error. so please help me to sort out this problem. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

LazyInitializationException is occurred while you getting @ManyToMany and @OneToMany objects

Hibernate is LAZY loading in case of(@ManyToMany and @OneToMany) So while getting @ManyToMany or @OneToMany relation objects you should first iterate in DAO layer , and get the data other wise it shows LazyInitializationException

Answer 2

It's not enough details in your question to help you resolve it right away, however you should

• Google for LazyInitializationException - it's a common newbie problem. And it's a runtime exception, not compile time
• Read the docs of the framework you're using (pure Spring or Spring Boot, JPA) how to open a transaction/session
• Read about lazily initialized collections in JPA/Hibernate
• Make sure you either open session/transaction in view (usually anti-pattern) or put a @Transactional annotation on your code.

Looking at your code, you're trying to serialize JPA entity rihght away to JSON so open-session-in-view will work for you, however you need to be VERY CAREFUL. This pattern is useful only in very simple applications.
