David Leangen commented on FELIX-5666:
--------------------------------------
Just a thought... but if in the end you believe that the current behaviour of
the Serializer is correct, then another possible "solution" is to have a
Converters.newDTOConverter(). It would make the serializer marginally better:
{code}
String s = serializer
.serialize( obj )
.with(Converters.newDTOConverter())
.toString();
{code}
I still think that the behaviour to start with is not right, though. :-)

> I'm only guessing as to what the problem is, following some stepping through
> the code. I could not find any similar existing test cases, but if the
> following does not immediately click for [~bosschaert], I will try to add one.
> It appears that, when serializing an object to a "DTO-Type" object to a Map,
> some kind of backing object is created.
> If the backing object contains a field that instantiates the same DTO, then
> the loop gets created.
> Example:
> {code}
> public class MyDtoType {
> public String id;
> public MyDtoType( String anID ) {
> id = anID;
> }
> public static MyDtoType error() {
> return new MyDtoType( "ERROR" );
> }
> }
> {code}
> It looks like the serializer keeps calling the error() method infinitely, but
> I am not able to easily pinpoint where this happens.
