Spring Data Mongo MongoDB DBRef lazy initialization

Solution
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<>();
Problem
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...
