Hi Krishna,

I doubt you'll see much on a closed ticket - I'd suggest either mailing the user@ list to see if anyone else has had the problem; or if at all possible it would be great if you could chop away at your business objects a bit and create a reusable test case.

In either case - please feel free to open a new issue up rather than using the old one.

> 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
