I'm using Spring + Spring Data MongoDB.
My model is like this:

@Document(collection = "actors")

public class Actor extends DomainEntity {



private String name;

private String surname;

@DBRef(lazy = true)

private List<Class> classes;

The other class is pretty generic, so I don't post it.
My problem is that the list "classes" isn't loaded when i try to access it, the attribute remains being some kind of proxy object.
Example:

Actor a = actorRepository.findOne(id);

//At this moment classes are a proxy object because of the lazy



//Now I try to load the reference and nothing works

a.getClasses();

a.getClasses().size();

a.getClases().get(0).getAttr();

for(Class g:a.getClasses()){

        g.getAttr();

    }

I considered a ton of options, but no way to make it working...

I'm using spring-data-mongodb-1.7.0.RELEASE and I was able to solve this issue by initializing the lazy-loaded collection in its declaration, for instance:

@DBRef(lazy = true)

private List<Class> classes = new ArrayList<>();
