Description

The current implementation of Encoder/XMLEncoder/PersistentDelegate/DefaultPersistentDelegate runs into a dead loop while trying to encode bean like this:

DeadLoopTest.java
—
package test;

import java.beans.*;

public class DeadLoopTest {
public DeadLoopTest getProp1()

{ return new DeadLoopTest(); }

public void setProp1(DeadLoopTest val) {}

public static void main(String argv[])

{ XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(System.out); DeadLoopTest bean1 = new DeadLoopTest(); encoder.writeObject(bean1); encoder.close(); }

}
—

Please note that several classes from Harmony's AWT implementation contain patterns that are very close to this. For example Component.getLocation()/setLocation(), Component.getSize()/setSize().
