Hi,
I am looking at Jira ATLAS-1458 . If we define a type that points to a
second type that has references back and uses constraints, we get an
infinite loop in toString. I can circumvent this by caching the guids we
have seen already in toString() processing, so we do not put out the same
guid twice, thus ending that loop. After this patch, it then loops in the
GSON serialization in the toJSON method. It looks like we could amend this
to use a GSON exclusion strategy.
I then remembered at V1, we had hrefs for references. This seems to have
been removed from the V2 POJO API, which leaves us open to these infinite
loops. It seems to me that the v1 hrefs would be preferable to the
circumventions I am contemplating above,
all the best, David.
