Fetching Bidirectional DbRef relations Spring Data + MongoDB

[Vish Shukla]

Hi all,

I am new to MongoDB. I am preparing an example for learning and seems like when working with bi-directional relationship with Spring Data & DBRef, MongoMappingConverter gets into end-less cycle and keeps reading the association again and again.

I wonder if it is the rare scenario(quite commong in ORMs though), couldn't get any help on this. One option could be writing custom converter and ignoring anyone side of relation, but that will turn my in-memory bean into a stale state.

Please share ideas on this.

Thanks.
