Does jackson Handles/throws the Cyclic exception like net.sf.json.JSONException: There is a cycle in the hierarchy! thrown in json-lib when it detects the cycle in java object that is to be converted in json. If so how can we handle it.
Error thrown in json-lib is as follow
1169 SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet JSONControllerServletGZIP threw exception
1170 net.sf.json.JSONException: There is a cycle in the hierarchy!
