Include a default serializer for exceptions #90

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Extend Exception and call the no-arg constructor
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You should get deserialized json data.

Rather, a ciruclar reference is detected and the object cannot be
deserialized to json. However, if you explicitly call the 2-arg constructor
with (null, null), it will deserialize to json correctly.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

The underlying problem is that exceptions default to being caused by 'this'. 
You can work-around this by writing a custom serializer & deserializer for 
exceptions.

(If we fix issue 164, you'll only have to register "Throwable" for this to work 
for most exceptions)

registerTypeHierarchyAdapter() makes this relatively easy. We won't support 
this in the framework.
