How do I configure a many-to-one and one-to-many relationship in spring? Hibernate keeps call the same query infinitely

Question

I have been reading through some older posts related to this issue and none of the proposed solutions have worked for me. Whever I try to make the call i get a stack overflow error.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I have a set up like this:

public class SchoolDistrict implements Serializable {
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="schoolDistrict", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
    @JsonIgnore
    //@JsonManagedReference
    private List<SchoolDistrictSvc> schoolDistrictSvc;
    ...
    //getters and setters
}

public class SchoolDistrictSvc implements Serializable {
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "SCHOOL_DISTRICT_ID", referencedColumnName = "SCHOOL_DISTRICT_ID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
    @JsonIgnore
    //@JsonBackReference
    private SchoolDistrict schoolDistrict;

    ...
    //getters setters
} 

The sql queries produced by hibernate are all the same using the same value for the?.

Stacktrace:

Answer 1

I don't know if this could be causing your problem, but you should be using a lazy load on the many side of your mapping.

@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)

Also, if your query is going to be one-directional all the time, you should implement this as a one-directional relationship. Check out the Unidirectional @OneToMany on this site.
