JPA EntityManager merge infinite loop - java.lang.StackOverflowError -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-11793 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-11793 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: JPA / Hibernate Affects Versions: 15.0.1.Final Environment: MAC OS Mojave Java 11 Java EE 8 Wildfly 15.0.1-Final Data Base Postgresql Reporter: Bruno Maioli Martins Assignee: Scott Marlow Priority: Critical Attachments: teste.zip Dear, When executing the update of a record invoking getEntityManager().merge(obj) the application goes into infinite loop. This behavior only occurs when there is a OneToMany bidirectional mapping of the entity Papel -> PermissaoAtribuida. If the same code runs outside of the Wildfly server context its execution occurs normally. Apparently the call getEntityManager.().merge(obj) attempts infinite selects to sync the object with transaction context before doing the merge. Attach the source code of my test classes.
