I'm just getting started with elasticsearch with spring which is both technologies wich are completly new to me. I have uploaded data to an elasticseach index with logstash and I can search it successfully using kebana. However when i try to return from an index to a webpage using spring it only returns empty json-objects, but the right amount of empty objects. Did I upload the data incorrectly or is something wrong with my code? I don't understand why this is happening and would appriciate any help I can get. You can find some code bellow.

Code for type:  
@Document(indexName="usmgbg\_index", type="usmgbg\_type")  
public class Usmgbg {

```
@Id
private String ID;
private String Source, Name, Profession, Country, FileName, LastModified, OwnerID;

```

}

Repository:  
@Repository  
public interface UsmgbgRepository extends ElasticsearchRepository\<Usmgbg, String\>{}

Controller:  
@RestController  
public class UsmgbgController {  
@Autowired  
private UsmgbgRepository repository;

```
    @GetMapping("usmgbg/findall")
    public List<Usmgbg> findAllCustomers() {

        List<Usmgbg> items = new ArrayList<>();
        repository.findAll().forEach(items::add);

        return items;
    } 
}

```

The output I'm getting from findAllCustomers looks like: [{},{},{},{},....]
