[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2717) toString() method with cyclic associations and a dynamic model causes StackOverflowException

toString() method with cyclic associations and a dynamic model causes StackOverflowException -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2717 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2717 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.4.sp1; MySQL Reporter: Stefan Wachter When the toString() method is called on an entity (i.e. on a HashMap) then a StackOverflow occurs. The members of an association are stored in map entry with a PersistentList value. The PersistentList in turn contains HashMaps, that contain PersistentLists again, ... The toString() method must take care of cycles.
