Whether lazy-loaded object should be forced to be loaded and then serialized (true); or serialized as nulls (false).

Default value is false.

Feature that may be enabled to force replacement org.hibernate.collection.spi.PersistentCollection, List, Set, Map subclasses during serialization as standard JDK java.util.List, java.util.Set and java.util.Map. This is usually done to prevent issues with polymorphic handling, so that type id is generated for standard containers and NOT for Hibernate variants.

Default setting is false, so that no replacement occurs.

2.8.2

This feature determines how org.hibernate.collection.spi.PersistentCollections properties for which no annotation is found are handled with respect to lazy-loading: if true, lazy-loading is only assumed if annotation is used to indicate that; if false, lazy-loading is assumed to be the default. Note that FORCE_LAZY_LOADING has priority over this Feature; meaning that if it is defined as true, setting of this Feature has no effect.

Default value is false, meaning that laziness is considered to be the default value.

2.4

If FORCE_LAZY_LOADING is false, this feature serializes uninitialized lazy loading proxies as {"identifierName":"identifierValue"} rather than null.

Default value is false.

Note that the name of the identifier property can only be determined if

• the Mapping is provided to the Hibernate5Module, or
• the persistence context that loaded the proxy has not yet been closed, or
• the id property is mapped with property access (for instance because the @Id annotation is applied to a method rather than a field)

Whether javax.persistence.Transient annotation should be checked or not; if true, will consider @Transient to mean that property is to be ignored; if false annotation will have no effect.

Default value is true.

Feature that may be disables to unwrap the identifier of the serialized entity, returning a value instead of an object.

Since

2.12

Using FORCE_LAZY_LOADING may result in `javax.persistence.EntityNotFoundException`. This flag configures Jackson to ignore the error and serialize a `null`.
