Attribute with circular reference in Spring Mock Mvc #359

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I attached an AttributeTest to reproduce the problem

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There's a stack overflow when the object is getting serialized.  For request 
attributes, I would expect no serialization to be necessary.  My use case is 
unit testing a Spring REST controller.  A filter inserts an object with a 
circular reference into the request as an attribute.  In my unit test, I wish 
to insert a test fixture into the request as an object.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.3.3 using Mac OS X 10.7 and Java 1.7

I was able to do what I wanted by implementing 
org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockHttpServletRequestBuilder and 
using that to insert the request attribute.  Now I'm not sure what the 
attribute feature is for.  Feel free to reject this issue if you wish.
