Henri Yandell commented on LANG-69: ----------------------------------- I think the first step is to drop the register in appendStart, then in appendInternal the logic should be: --- if registered, write identity and return. register. switch statement of different ones. finally-unregister. --- This seems to improve things. ArrayUtils passes and while there are still failures in ToStringBuilder, there are no longer stack overflows. Just incorrect values. As I said.. 'seems to' :) I'll take anything as a positive sign. > [lang] ToStringBuilder throws StackOverflowError when an Object cycle exists > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-69 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-69 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Environment: Operating System: other > Platform: Other > Reporter: Maarten Coene > Assigned To: Gary Gregory > Fix For: 2.3 > > Attachments: 15938.patch, 36061.patch, LANG-69-refactor.patch, > ReflectionToStringBuilder.java.patch, ToStringBuilderTest.java.patch, > ToStringStyle.java.patch > > > Hi, > The ToStringBuilder throws a StackOverflowError if you have a cycle in the > object graph.
