gson.toJson（）抛出StackOverflowError

Question

我想从我的对象生成一个JSON字符串：

Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(item);

每当我尝试这样做时，都会出现此错误：

14:46:40,236 ERROR [[BomItemToJSON]] Servlet.service() for servlet BomItemToJSON threw exception
java.lang.StackOverflowError

    at com.google.gson.Gson$FutureTypeAdapter.write(Gson.java:843)

这些是我的 BomItem 类的属性：

private int itemId;
private Collection<BomModule> modules;
private boolean deprecated;
private String partNumber;
private String description; //LOB
private int quantity;
private String unitPriceDollar;
private String unitPriceEuro;
private String discount; 
private String totalDollar;
private String totalEuro;
private String itemClass;
private String itemType;
private String vendor;
private Calendar listPriceDate;
private String unitWeight;
private String unitAveragePower;
private String unitMaxHeatDissipation;
private String unitRackSpace;

我引用的 BomModule 类的属性：

private int moduleId;
private String moduleName;
private boolean isRootModule;
private Collection<BomModule> parentModules;
private Collection<BomModule> subModules;
private Collection<BomItem> items;
private int quantity;

知道导致此错误的原因是什么？我该如何解决？

Answer 1

问题是您有一个循环引用。

在BomModule课程中，您引用的是：

private Collection<BomModule> parentModules;
private Collection<BomModule> subModules;

BomModule显然，GSON完全不喜欢这种自我指涉。

解决方法是将模块设置null为避免递归循环。这样我可以避免StackOverFlow-Exception。

item.setModules(null);

或使用关键字标记您 不想 在序列化json中显示的字段transient，例如：

private transient Collection<BomModule> parentModules;
private transient Collection<BomModule> subModules;
