             Summary: Serializer goes into infinite loop
                 Key: FELIX-5666
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5666
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Converter
            Reporter: David Leangen


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:

public class MyDtoType {
  public String id;

  public MyDtoType( String anID ) {
    id = anID;
  }

  public static MyDtoType error() {
    return new MyDtoType( "ERROR" );
  }
}

It looks like the serializer keeps calling the error() method infinitely, but I 
am not able to easily pinpoint where this happens.
