General case for an infinite loop with ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString

           Summary: General case for an infinite loop with
                    ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.0 Alpha
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Lang
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla@jackwasey.com


Something like the following structure results in an infinite loop:

cClass Alpha {
Beta beta;
public toString() {
return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString
}
}

class Beta {
Alpha alpha;
public toString() {
return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString
}

}

Bug 15976 refers to inner classes - in fact any mutually referential classes
will spin out into an infinite loop. (Discovered this using two Hibernate
persistent beans.)
