Error during deserialization when an object contains a reference to itself in JBoss EAP 6
Issue
-
When deserializing certain object structures, a NullPointerException is caused by a call to a non-initialized object's equals() method.
-
When an object contains a reference to itself (nested arbitrarily deep), any access to the nested reference during deserialization can access a non-initialized object (fields not set).
Environment
