             Summary: StackOverflowException when Jackson tries to serialize a Resource object
                 Key: SLING-6295
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6295
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: Sling Models Jackson Exporter 1.0.0
            Reporter: Justin Edelson
            Assignee: Justin Edelson
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: Sling Models Jackson Exporter 1.0.2


When a model class has a property of type Resource (or a collection of Resource objects), attempting to serialize that class into a String produces a StackOverflow due to the getParent() method.

The simplest solution would be to use Jackson mixins to skip the getParent() (and, for good measure, the getResourceResolver() and getResourceMetadata()) methods. A better solution would be to simply use the standard Sling JSON in these cases.
