recursive stack failure

[Lutz Michael <mi...@siemens.com>]

Has anyone run into the following situation?  If so please share how you
handled it.

Scenario: Objects paced into MDC overload their toString() methods (which
determine log content), but they make logging calls in their toString()
methods themselves resulting in stack recursion failure.  JVM crash & burn.

I'm hoping there's a recommended approach for handling this.  Obviously we
can try to avoid placing logging calls in our toString() methods for objects
placed into MDC, but we wanted to make sure there's not a more robust
approach.

Thanks in advance.

Mike
