Update Spring Embedded Entity throws Stack Overflow Entity

Question

I am currently trying to update a Record which contains an Embedded Entity. When trying this, i am getting the following Error:

Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.StackOverflowError

When i create the Entity, everything is working fine.

This is what i have right now:

My Main Entity:

@Entity(name = "Account")
@Table(name = "account")
@DynamicUpdate
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
@Setter
public class Account extends Auditable<String> {

    @Id
    @Column(name = "Id")
    private String id;
    @Column(
            name = "Description",
            length = 512)
    private String description;
    @Column(
            name = "AnnualRevenue",
            length = 18)
    private String annualRevenue;
    @Embedded
    @AttributeOverrides(value = {
            @AttributeOverride(name = "city", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressCity")),
            @AttributeOverride(name = "country", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressCountry")),
            @AttributeOverride(name = "latitude", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressLatitude")),
            @AttributeOverride(name = "longitude", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressLongitude")),
            @AttributeOverride(name = "postalCode", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressPostalCode")),
            @AttributeOverride(name = "state", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressState")),
            @AttributeOverride(name = "street", column = @Column(name = "billingAddressStreet"))
    })
    private Address billingAddress;
    @Column(name = "Industry")
    private String industry;
    @Column(name = "IsDeleted")
    private boolean isDeleted;
    @Column(
            name = "Employees",
            length = 8
    )
    private int employees;
    @Column(name = "Name")
    private String name;
    @Column(name = "Phone")
    private String phone;
    @Column(name = "Type")
    private String type;
    @Column(name = "Website")
    private String website;
    @OneToMany(
            orphanRemoval = true,
            fetch = FetchType.LAZY,
            cascade = {
                    CascadeType.ALL
            }
    )
    @JsonIgnoreProperties("account")
    private final List<Contact> contacts = new ArrayList<>();

}

Here, i am using an Embedded Entity for the Address which looks like this:

@Embeddable
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
@Setter
public class Address {

    private String city;
    private String country;
    private Double latitude;
    private Double longitude;
    private String postalCode;
    private String state;
    private String street;

}

Furthermore, the Account can have multiple Contacts which is is defined like this:

@Entity(name = "Contact")
@Table(name = "contact")
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
@Setter
@JsonInclude
public class Contact extends Auditable<String> {

    @Id
    @Column(name = "Id")
    private String id;
    @Column(name = "Department")
    private String department;
    @Column(
            name = "Email"
    )
    private String email;
    @Column(name = "FirstName")
    private String firstName;
    @Column(name = "Name")
    private String name;
    @Column(name = "Salutation")
    private String salutation;
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(
            name = "accountId",
            nullable = false,
            referencedColumnName = "Id",
            foreignKey = @ForeignKey(
                    name = "AccountContactFK"
            )
    )
    @JsonIgnoreProperties("contacts")
    private Account account;

}

For the Account, i am using the DTO Principle to map the Fields which looks like this:

DTO for Creation:

@Getter
@Setter
public class AccountCreationDTO {

    private String description;
    private String annualRevenue;
    private Address billingAddress;
    private String industry;
    private boolean isDeleted;
    private int employees;
    private String name;
    private String phone;
    private String type;
    private String website;

}

DTO for Update:

@Getter
@Setter
public class AccountUpdateDTO {

    @Id
    private String id;
    private String description;
    private String annualRevenue;
    @Embedded
    private Address billingAddress;
    private String industry;
    private boolean isDeleted;
    private int employees;
    private String name;
    private String phone;
    private String type;
    private String website;

}

And here is my Controller:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1")
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@Slf4j
public class AccountController {

    private final AccountRepository accountRepository;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/createAccount", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public Account createObject(@RequestBody @DTO(AccountCreationDTO.class) Account account) {
        //account.setBillingAddress(account.getBillingAddress());
        //this.addressRepository.save(account.getBillingAddress());
        Account createdAccount = this.accountRepository.saveAndFlush(account);
        log.info("Created Account: {}", createdAccount);
        return createdAccount;
    }

    @PutMapping(value = "/updateAcc")
    public ResponseEntity<Account> updateAccount(@DTO(AccountUpdateDTO.class) Account account) {
        Account updatedAccount = this.accountRepository.saveAndFlush(account);
        log.info("Updated Account: {}", updatedAccount);
        return ResponseEntity.ok().body(updatedAccount);
    }

}
