Suppose you have a java object, would it be possible to detect where exists circular references inside that java object?
I would like to hear if there is a library to deal with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
A bit of a lateral answer, but how about using
net.sf.json.JSONObject.fromObject(...)which checks for circular references and throws an exception if any are found. Also, you can configure the library to handle circular references differently if necessary. You would have to write a getter for those class members that exist in the cyclical relationship, since that is what JSONObject uses to create the JSON.
