Spring data with spring boot error when using mapping

Spring boot has made life of the java developers a bliss. Thanks a million for the dedicated guys in spring.

Saying that, if you are working typical database related project with spring boot, you might have some error like this

Or something like that.

This happens if you are passing the entity object to the response that has mapping of one to many or many to one.

In that case, the response part of the spring boot will try its best to create a json out of it and will get into continuous loop problem.

Lets take example
Assume there is a table user and group.

The relation is one to many, a single group can have many users.


public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name="user_id")
    private Integer id;
	
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    @JoinColumn(name = "group_id")
    .
    .
    .


public class Group {
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
	@Column(name="group_id")
	private Integer id;

	@Column(name="name")
	private String name;
	
	@OneToMany(mappedBy = "group", fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
	private Set users;
        .
        .
        .

You can see the relation in the entities. The above problem will happen if you try to pass as response a group that contains number of users under it.

How to solve spring boot jap infinite loop error

The way to address will be to create a wrapper dummy POJO class that resembles the out put you want.

In the above case you will have a model class GroupModel that will contain all the member variables and setters/getters and you will fill up that in place of the entity itself.

So you will have both simple POJOs of User and Group that you will fill the values of the result into and pass that Model than the entity itself.


public class GroupModel {
	private Integer id;
	private String name;
	
	private List users = new ArrayList<>();
        //setters getters goes..

Then whenever you got the group object, you can re-populate this model and pass it. Internally spring boot will delegate the task to jackson and life will continue as usual.
