Spring boot lazy loaded entity not loading all properties

I have a Spring Boot 2.1.13 (Java 8) project with MySQL 8.0.21 and mysql-connector-java version: 8.0.22 with the following classes.

@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
@JsonIgnoreProperties({"type", "location", "hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler"})
public class User implements java.io.Serializable {
    private UserType userType;
    private Location location;
    private long id;
    private String name;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public long getId() {
        return this.id;
    }

    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "usertypeid")
    public UserType getUserType() {
        return this.userType;
    }

    public void setUserType(UserType userType) {
        this.userType = userType;
    }

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "locationid", nullable = false)
    public Location getLocation() {
        return this.location;
    }

    public void setLocation(Location location) {
        this.location = location;
    }

    @Column(name = "name", nullable = false)
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}


@Entity
@Table(name = "usertype")
@JsonIgnoreProperties({"hibernateLazyInitializer", "handler"})
public class UserType implements java.io.Serializable {
    private long id;
    private String name;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public long getId() {
        return this.id;
    }

    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @Column(name = "name", nullable = false)
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "location")
public class Location implements java.io.Serializable {
    private long id;
    private String name;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public long getId() {
        return this.id;
    }

    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @Column(name = "name", nullable = false)
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

I fetch the user record using the following code

User user = userRepository.findById(userId).orElse(null);

Now when I try to fetch the UserType object from my user object, I don't get any values, except the ID. For example, when I run the following command, it gives me a null value

user.getUserType().getName()

However, when I run the following code, I get the expected not null value.

user.getLocation().getName()

Both userType and location are lazy-loaded, however, the values of only location are available in the code.

• I have checked the values in DB tables. They are not null for both user type and location.
• I have checked the values in the debugger as well. The Location object seems to be a proxy, however, the UserType not a hibernate proxy object. I am not sure if this is an issue.
