    java.lang.StackOverflowError when running seam generate-enti

    christian_zeidler

      Hello!

      I tried to run a basic database model through the reverse enginering tool that comes with seam gen and I am getting a java.lang.StackOverflowError without any details.

      Here is the output from running seam generate-entities (working with a configured project that works fine when running generate-entities with other tables):

      Buildfile: F:\jboss\jboss-seam-1.1.0.GA\seam-gen\build.xml

      I was able to narrow it down to the use of a foreign key constraint referencing to the same table. Here is an example:
      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `people`;
      CREATE TABLE `people` (
       `id` bigint NOT NULL,
       `given_name` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '0',
       `name` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
       `fk_likes_person` bigint default NULL,
       PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
       FOREIGN KEY (fk_likes_person) REFERENCES people(id) ON DELETE NO ACTION
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
      


      According to MySQL Documentation this is possible with InnoDB tables

      ...Note that InnoDB supports foreign key references within a table. In these cases, "child table records" really refers to dependent records within the same table...


      Is there a good reason for this behaviour? If you consider this as a bug, please point me to the right place for reporting it.
