[jira] Updated: (LANG-69) [lang] ToStringBuilder throws StackOverflowError when an Object cycle exists

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-69?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell updated LANG-69:
------------------------------

    Attachment: LANG-69-refactor.patch

Patch attached with a refactoring of the code to pull the duplicated registry code out. Idea being that this would be easier to apply to the ToStringBuilder.

> Hi,
> The ToStringBuilder throws a StackOverflowError if you have a cycle in the
> object graph. For instance, the following toString() method will cause a
> StackOverflowError:
> public class ObjectCycle {
>     Object obj;
>     	
>     public String toString() {
>         return new ToStringBuilder(this).append(obj).toString();
>     }
> }
> public void testObjectCycle() {
>     ObjectCycle a = new ObjectCycle();
>     ObjectCycle b = new ObjectCycle();
>     a.obj = b;
>     b.obj = a;
>     a.toString();  // ouch: StackOverflowError    	
> }
> I'll submit some patches that fixes this problem...
> regards,
> Maarten
