Spring-data-mongodb @DBRef causing infinite recursion? I can't work out why

Ok, so I have a very simple set of Java POJOs in my spring application.

Here is my person class :

@Document(collection="people")
public class Person {    

    // Data.
    @Id
    private ObjectId Id;    

    @DBRef
    private List<Entity> entities;    


    /* Getters and setters removed to keep this question simple. */
}    

And, here is my entity class.

@Document(collection = "entities")
public class Entity {    

    @Id
    private ObjectId Id;    

    @DBRef
    private List<Person> people;    

    /* Getters and setters removed to keep question simple. */
}    

Now, in my spec, "Person" and "Entity" have a Many-Many relationship. A Person can be registered to lots of Entities, and the reverse is true, too.

Now, for some reason, when I try and persist these two, into each other's lists, I get this weird error I have never seen :

... This continues until the stack overflows. Sorry it is all on one line, wasn't sure how to fix that on this site... it is cut straight from my terminal. 

What did I do wrong? I have been doing pretty well so far at learning this stack, but I just can't see what is wrong here.
