Sample code to represent my problem.
Let's say there are entity classes like that
public class User {
...
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "users_statuts_id", referencedColumnName = "id", nullable = false)
private UserStatus status;
}
public class UserStatus {
...
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "status")
private List<User> users = new LinkedList<>();
}
This works as expected but, problem starts when I want to use MapStruct generated mapper and DTO object. I will get StackOverflowError becouse of Cyclic references User->UserStatus->List< User>-> ..... And take into account that not necessary it will be in pattern A->B->A (User->UserStatus->User) sometimes it will be User->ClassA->ClassB->...->User
I tired adding Context (CycleAvoidingMappingContext) to mapper as stated in other threads to break cycle but I failed and still get StackOverflowError. Tried too with AfterMappings and Mapping(ignore) but still not worked and I would like to avoid settings manually nulls to break the cycle.
I wonder if is possible to break cycle similar to @JsonIdentityInfo but on Hibernate level ?
My classes are a bit more complicated and bidirectional relation would help a lot later. Someone have some tips how should I make it done to work properly ?
