com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.UnresolvedForwardReference with @JsonIdentityInfo

Question

I have this an error

this because in mj json I have this element

"employe": 1,
        "statutControle": {
            "statutControleID": 1,
            "description": "vérification documents ok",
            "controles": [
                1234
            ]
        }

This should be employeID instead of employe

I have this for my entity and I am using @JsonIdentityInfo:

//bi-directional many-to-one association to Employe
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="employeID")
    private Employe employe;

Answer 1

Please add your complete Employe class show all the jackson annotations and the json string that you are trying to deserialize. This seems like a jackson bug whereby id's can't appear before their complete objects.
