Create a new class like A and declare all 5 classes in this class like sample :

public class Response {
   private A a;
   private B b;
   private C c;
   private D d;
   private E e;

   // getter and setters
}

Fill above response object and return from the controller like 

@RequestMapping(value="{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public @ResponseBody Response getShopInJSON(@PathVariable String id) {

		Response response = new Response();
    
    // add A,B,C,D,E to response object
		response.setA();
    response.setB();
    response.setC();
    response.setD();
    response.setE();
   		return response;

  	}

@ResponseBody annotation will convert the response as json internally using message converters

Create a new entity which contains the other entity references as fields

public class MyResponse { private Entity1 entity1; }

Include all 5 entity as fields in MyResponse class and set the entities accordingly and then return MyResponse directly or in a response entity as ResponseEntity.ok(myResponse)
