Thanks for your reply, but it didn't help:

i tried to use transient="true" to avoid "recursive rings".
to me it looks like a bug.

this "feature" i very important to me .... ... i hope i find an other xml-binding software which supports this feature - do you know one?

cheers,
treb

Hi,

You need to map either the parent or the children in the mapping, but not both.

Otherwise, when you try and marshall the parent from a child, it will then marshal 
that child again and so on, hence the stack overflow.

Hope this helps.

Patrick

Subject: [castor-user] [XML] parent/child relatinship of the same object type


i'm using a parent child relationship of the same object type:

public class Region {
String name;
Collection children;
Region parent;
// omitting the getter and setter methodss
}

lets say i have a tree structure like this:

Europe
|--Germany
|...|--Bayern
|--Austria
|......|--Salzburg
|.........|--North
|.........|--South
|--Italy

and i want to marshal and unmarshal only Austria with exactly on level
of parents and one level of children:

Europe
Austria
Salzburg

when i use a mapping xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mapping xmlns="http://castor.exolab.org/";
xmlns:cst="http://castor.exolab.org/";>
<description>Castor generated mapping file</description>
<class cst:name="Region"
cst:auto-complete="false">
<description>Default mapping for class Region</description>
<map-to cst:xml="region"/>
<field cst:name="name" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="name" node="element"/>
</field>
<field cst:name="children" cst:transient="false"
cst:type="Region"
cst:collection="collection">
<bind-xml name="children" node="element">
<class cst:name="Region"
cst:auto-complete="false">
<description>Children mapping for class Region</description>
<map-to cst:xml="region"/>
<field cst:name="name" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="name" node="element"/>
</field>
<field cst:name="children" cst:transient="true" />
<field cst:name="parent" cst:transient="true"/>
</class>
</bind-xml>
</field>
<field cst:name="kunden" cst:transient="true" />
<field cst:name="benutzer" cst:transient="true"/>
<field cst:name="parent" cst:transient="false">
cst:type="Region">
<bind-xml name="parent" node="element">
<class cst:name="Region"
cst:auto-complete="false">
<description>Parent mapping for class Region</description>
<map-to cst:xml="region"/>
<field cst:name="name" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="name" node="element"/>
</field>
<field cst:name="children" cst:transient="true" />
<field cst:name="parent" cst:transient="true"/>
</class>
</bind-xml>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>

and when i try to use this mapping i get:
java.lang.StackOverflowError

What am i doing wrong?
. or is this a bug?
