Romain Manni-Bucau commented on GERONIMO-6692:
----------------------------------------------
[~jmeen] should be fine now since we lazily initialize the components model
> OpenAPI SchemaProcessor causes a StackOverflowException when processing
> schema for a class field that reference's it's own class

> Key: GERONIMO-6692
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6692
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Affects Versions: OpenAPI_1.0.5
> Reporter: James Meen
> Assignee: Romain Manni-Bucau
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: OpenAPI_1.0.6
>
>
> A webapp being scanned by SchemaProcessor class of the Geronimo OpenAPI
> extension has a field that references the class it is a part of, for
> example...
> {code:java}
> public class aClass
> {
> ...
> public List<aClass> getAList() { ... }
> ...
> }
> {code}
> There is no check in OpenAPI SchemaProcessor for this and it eventually
> causes a StackOverflowException.
> I doubt this issue is limited to List and will probably also happen if the
> field type is singular of the same parent class.
> The front-end exception the user sees is completely unrelated to the real
> exception. This causes a great amount of debugging time stepping through to
> determine the root cause for a relatively large application.
> Propose to somehow either support this when mapping to an OpenAPI model.
> Also, failing the possibility of a solution as above, this case should be
> detected by the schema processor and handled accordingly either skipping the
> field and/or raising a suitable warning/exception in a way that the user
> knows what/why it is failing or excluded (ultimately to save the user having
> to debug through the schema processing). A stackoverflow should not happen.
