Otherwise you are forced to use a DTO that does not contain the lazy loaded properties, iterate over your entity list creating DTOs and marshall the list of DTOs.
This might be easier to achieve on data-binding level (Jackson module
for JPA). Something similar exists in form of Jackson Hibernate module
