> Key: BEANUTILS-158
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-158
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Dan Allen
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> BeanUtils.describe() has the problem that it can be called infinitely if used
> inside of the bean it is describing. For instance, a bean with the following
> code will fail:
> class MyBean
> {
> public Map getParameterMap()
> {
> BeanUtils.describe(this);
> }
> }
> The problem is when the method calls getProperty() on the "parameterMap"
> property. I would expect some sort of sanity check as this can bring down the
> server with a StackOverflow exception, when it is not entirely obvious why.
