-If you are using Jackson, though, this may result in a serialization error like the following:
-
-[source,bash]
-====
-com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: Direct self-reference leading to cycle
-====
-
-This is due to how Jackson works with CGLIB proxies.
-To address this, add the following annotation to the top of the `User` class:
-
-[tabs]

-Java::

-[source,java,role="primary"]

-@JsonSerialize(as = User.class)
-public class User {

-Kotlin::

-[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]

-@JsonSerialize(`as` = User::class)

 Finally, you will need to publish a <<custom_advice, custom interceptor>> to catch the `AccessDeniedException` thrown for each field, which you can do like so:
