JSON Loading Lazy properties

Question

I have 2 entities

Product:

 @Id @GeneratedValue
 private Long id;

 private String name;

 private String description;

 @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
 @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY)
 private Product parentProduct;

 @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
 @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY)
 private Set<Product> childProduct;

 @OneToMany(mappedBy="product", fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
 @JsonManagedReference @JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY)
 private Set<Image> images;

Image:

@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String type;
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, optional = true)
@JsonBackReference
@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY)
private Product product;

the lazy relationship are being loaded when I call from a RestController but when I call from my main method (Spring Boot) they came empty.

What I do to maintain lazy when Json serialize.

json return:

    [ {
  "id" : 1,
  "name" : "Passatempo Pacote",
  "description" : "Cookies Package",
  "images" : [ {
    "id" : 2,
    "type" : "png"
  }, {
    "id" : 1,
    "type" : "jpeg"
  } ]
}, {
  "id" : 2,
  "name" : "Passatempo",
  "description" : "Cookies",
  "parentProduct" : {
    "id" : 1,
    "name" : "Passatempo Pacote",
    "description" : "Cookies Package",
    "images" : [ {
      "id" : 2,
      "type" : "png"
    }, {
      "id" : 1,
      "type" : "jpeg"
    } ]
  }
} ]

Images must be empty because lazy config on property

The Json Serializer will call the get method, which will load your lazy field. If you don't want these lazy field in json, you could annotate them @JsonIgnore.

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_EMPTY) means the field will be ignored only if it's empty.

Use fetch = FetchType.EAGER instead of fetch = FetchType.LAZY.
