Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-587:
--------------------------------------

Ok, I am not able to reproduce the exception using a Arquillian test - https://github.com/hferentschik/hibernate-validator/tree/HV-587

As you said, adding an actual constraint somewhere makes the test pass. I will look into it asap. The other question of course is why would add a _ at Valid_ annotation without any actual constraint in the entities?

> When I have some entities referencing each other (a cycle), the annotation @Valid is on the corresponding getters and there is not really something to be validated on these entities (no @NotNull, ... is present) I end up in a recursion which leads to a stack overflow. 
> If there are some @NotNull the detection of cycles does work fine.
