> 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:
> {code}
> public class MyDtoType {
>   public String id;
>   public MyDtoType( String anID ) {
>     id = anID;
>   }
>   public static MyDtoType error() {
>     return new MyDtoType( "ERROR" );
>   }
> }
> {code}
> It looks like the serializer keeps calling the error() method infinitely, but I am not able to easily pinpoint where this happens.
