I am workin with Spring Boot 1.5.10, Spring Data JPA and Hibernate.
When I search by Id the entity Person the result is correct, but when I try to build a query with a List my request return a exception:
Failed to write HTTP message: 
org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotWritableException: 
Could not write JSON: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: us.icitap.entities.tims.Person.otherNames, could not initialize proxy - no Session; 
nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: us.icitap.entities.tims.Person.otherNames, could not initialize proxy - no Session (through reference chain: java.util.ArrayList[0]->us.icitap.entities.tims.Person["otherNames"])
The code of the entity I am working on:
@Entity
@Table(name="PERSON", schema = "TIMS")
@NamedQuery(name="Person.findAll", query="SELECT p FROM Person p")
public class Person extends PersonAbstract {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    //bi-directional many-to-one association to PersonOtherName
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="person")
    private List<PersonOtherName> otherNames;
    //bi-directional many-to-one association to Photo
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="person")
    private List<Photo> photos;
    //bi-directional many-to-one association to TravelDocument
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="person")
    private List<TravelDocument> travelDocuments;
    public Person() {
    }
    public List<PersonOtherName> getOtherNames() {
        return this.otherNames;
    }
    public void setOtherNames(List<PersonOtherName> otherNames) {
        this.otherNames = otherNames;
    }
    public PersonOtherName addOtherName(PersonOtherName otherName) {
        getOtherNames().add(otherName);
        otherName.setPerson(this);
        return otherName;
    }
    public PersonOtherName removeOtherName(PersonOtherName otherName) {
        getOtherNames().remove(otherName);
        otherName.setPerson(null);
        return otherName;
    }
    public List<Photo> getPhotos() {
        return this.photos;
    }
    public void setPhotos(List<Photo> photos) {
        this.photos = photos;
    }
    public Photo addPhoto(Photo photo) {
        getPhotos().add(photo);
        photo.setPerson(this);
        return photo;
    }
    public Photo removePhoto(Photo photo) {
        getPhotos().remove(photo);
        photo.setPerson(null);
        return photo;
    }
    public List<TravelDocument> getTravelDocuments() {
        return this.travelDocuments;
    }
    public void setTravelDocuments(List<TravelDocument> travelDocuments) {
        this.travelDocuments = travelDocuments;
    }
    public TravelDocument addTravelDocument(TravelDocument travelDocument) {
        getTravelDocuments().add(travelDocument);
        travelDocument.setPerson(this);
        return travelDocument;
    }
    public TravelDocument removeTravelDocument(TravelDocument travelDocument) {
        getTravelDocuments().remove(travelDocument);
        travelDocument.setPerson(null);
        return travelDocument;
    }
}
The relevant part of the service:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public List<Person> searchByExpression(List<Criterion> expressions) {
    Session session = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);
    List<Person> persons = null;
    try {
        Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Person.class);
        for (Criterion simpleExpression : expressions) {
            criteria.add(simpleExpression);
        }
        persons = criteria.list();                      
    }catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();            
    }
    session.close();
    return persons;
}
@Override

Can anyone help me find what's going wrong in my code?
