I have class Menu, it's a self to self with manytoone and onetomany relational.

package models;

import java.util.*;
import javax.persistence.*;
import play.db.ebean.*;
import play.data.format.*;
import play.data.validation.*;
import static play.data.validation.Constraints.*;
import javax.validation.*;

import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonBackReference;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnore;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonManagedReference;

import com.avaje.ebean.*;
import play.i18n.Messages;
@Entity
public class Menu extends Model {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public Long id;

@Required
@MinLength(4)
@MaxLength(30)
public String name;

public String url;

@Transient
public boolean hasChild() {
    return url.isEmpty();
}

public Integer idx;

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@Formats.DateTime(pattern = "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss")
public Date created;

@Required
public boolean enabled;

@ManyToOne
        @JsonBackReference
public Menu parent;

@OneToMany
@JsonManagedReference("parent")
public List<Menu> children;

public static Model.Finder<Long, Menu> find = new Model.Finder<Long, Menu>(Long.class, Menu.class);

public static List<Menu> findTops() {
    return find.where().eq("parent_id", null).eq("enabled", true).orderBy("idx asc").findList();
}


public static List<Menu> findChildsByParent(Menu parent) {
    return findChildsByParent(parent, true);
}

public static List<Menu> findChildsByParent(Menu parent, boolean enabled) {
    return find.where().eq("parent_id", parent.id).eq("enabled", enabled).orderBy("idx asc").findList();
}

public static boolean hasChilds(Menu parent) {
    return hasChilds(parent, true);
}

public static boolean hasChilds(Menu parent, boolean enabled) {
    return find.where().eq("parent_id", parent.id).eq("enabled", enabled).findList().size() > 0;
}

public static Page<Menu> findPage(int page, int size) {
    return find.findPagingList(size).getPage(page - 1);
}


public Menu() {
}
}

In Controller code is :

@BodyParser.Of(BodyParser.Json.class)
public static Result menuJson() {
    if (menus == null) {
        menus = Menu.find.all();
    }

    JsonNode json = new ObjectMapper().valueToTree(menus);

    return ok(json);
}   

Error details is:

[RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Query threw SQLException:Unknown column 't1.menu_id' in 'on clause' Bind values:[1] Query was: select t0.id c0 , t1.id c1, t1.name c2, t1.url c3, t1.idx c4, t1.created c5, t1.enabled c6, t1.parent_id c7 from menu t0 left outer join menu t1 on t1.menu_id = t0.id where t0.id = ? order by t0.id (through reference chain: com.avaje.ebean.common.BeanList[0]->models.Menu["children"])] 

It's there have good solution to solve them or how to declare a custom serialize? For the tree model i don't have good object to class design,is't there a better design for this env.?
