Description

Upgrading from 2.7.0. to 2.7.1 uncovers a stackoverflow in JAXBContextInitializer.addType when using a recursive type definition like

public static abstract class AddressEntity<T extends AddressEntity<T>> {
	public abstract Addressable<T> getEntity();
}
	
public interface Addressable<T extends AddressEntity<T>>{}
