Description: Currently all sub resources of a name usage are not eagerly loaded. For example the synonyms of Puma concolor is an empty list:
http://staging.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-ws/name_usage/2435099
While in fact there are 2 known synonyms:
http://staging.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-ws/name_usage/2435099/synonyms
We should either remove the not loaded lists from the json or populate it with real data.]]>

Comment: Id be in favor of removing all lists from the NameUsage class but instead create a new subclass that has them, NameUsageWrapper or NameUsageFull

Why? I'm not against the idea, but would like to know the rationale to comment.
On the names though, NameUsageWrapper is not a very intuitive name. NameUsageFull would be better but still wonder why you'd want 2 representations.
Sub resources would be an alternative option:
/checklistbank-ws/name_usage/2435099/references
/checklistbank-ws/name_usage/2435099/synonyms
/checklistbank-ws/name_usage/2435099/higherClassification
etc

the wrapper idea is just to have a class to hold the usage and all the data from its subresources after Ive done the secondary calls.
Its a very recurring pattern if you have to deal with more than just one name that you need a class to hold all infos together.
And removing sub resources and eagerly loading it always is definitely far too much in many cases

Comment: wrapper class finally is called NameUsageContainer

Comment: And identifiers are loaded eagerly, all other sub resources not and are therefore removed from NameUsage
