java.lang.StackOverflowError in XString.equals()





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-01-19 14:06 -------
Just let a potential XString object initialize itself in the equals() method of 
XString, e.g. like:


public boolean equals(XMLString obj2)
{

  if (!obj2.hasString())
  {
    // **** new code start ****
    this.str();
    // **** new code end  ****
    return obj2.equals(this);
  }
  else
    return str().equals(obj2.toString());
}

I don't know about performance for this test. We got this Stackoverflow several 
times.
