I use hibernate to create a rest api. I create a method to get all items in a table.
public List<Language> getAllLanguages(Session session) {
List<Language> languages=(List<Language>)session.createQuery("from Language").list();
return languages;
}
This is my Language.java
public class Language implements java.io.Serializable {
private Integer idlanguage;
private String language;
private Set<Patient> patients = new HashSet<Patient>(0);
public Language() {
}
public Language(String language) {
this.language = language;
}
public Language(String language, Set<Patient> patients) {
this.language = language;
this.patients = patients;
}
public Integer getIdlanguage() {
return this.idlanguage;
}
public void setIdlanguage(Integer idlanguage) {
this.idlanguage = idlanguage;
}
public String getLanguage() {
return this.language;
}
public void setLanguage(String language) {
this.language = language;
}
public Set<Patient> getPatients() {
return this.patients;
}
public void setPatients(Set<Patient> patients) {
this.patients = patients;
}
}
And this is my Patient.java

Important: The beans and mappings are reverse engineered from MySQL database, via NetBeans. I do not need to get any data related to patient
when calling getAllLangauges
. My language
table has only 2 columns, idlanguage
and language
. Patient
table has a foriegn key of language table
Before using this method in rest api , it worked perfectly without any exception. But when I used this in rest api, it created a complexity in there.
I am not using annotations in here. I used hibernate reverse engineering wizard to map above entities . This is my rest api method.
@Path("/language")
public class LanguageJSONService {
@GET
@Path("/getAllLanguages")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List<Language> getAllLanguages(){
LanguageService languageService=new LanguageService();
List<Language> list = languageService.getAllLanguages();
return list;
}
}
This is the way how I call the method,
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
List<Language> list = client.target("http://localhost:8080/simple_rest/rest")
.path("/language/getAllLanguages")
.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.get(new GenericType<List<Language>>() {
});
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
System.out.println("Id - " + list.get(i).getIdlanguage() + " Language - " + list.get(i).getLanguage());
}
When I call the method ,
failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: beans.Language.patients, could not initialize proxy - no Session (through reference chain: java.util.ArrayList[0]->beans.Language["patients"])
is occurred.
Interestingly, if I did not close the session, then I get an output like below which is totally something else, seems like it is trying to display its foreign key tables and their foreign key tables and so on...

[{"idpatient":1,"diabetesType":{"iddiabetesType":1,"type":"Sever","patients":

Have any ideas about this problem ?
