James Meen reopened GERONIMO-6692:
----------------------------------

Thank you for such a fast response.

I have tested locally and still finding the same problem.  After stepping through, the fix approach looks good but the specific problem I see now is that the newSchema is not being put into the cache on SchemaProcessor Line 57 (never executed for this field) because it is not passing the conditions.  So when the check for existingSchema is done in the cache at line 96/97, it is never in the cache - so the same stack overflow occurs.

I believe this something to do with it being a generics based type i.e. List<Class>.

If it helps, the "model" value comes through as this at line 56...

>             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.
