 Description   

Creating a model with cyclic import :

<model name="ncwf:claim-process"><author>beCPG</author><version>1.0</version>
<imports><import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/><import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/bpm/1.0" prefix="bpm"/><import uri="http://www.bcpg.fr/model/nc-workflow/1.0" prefix="ncwf"/></imports><namespaces><namespace uri="http://www.bcpg.fr/model/nc-workflow/1.0" prefix="ncwf"/></namespaces><data-types/><constraints/>
...
</model>

and deploy it into "Data Dictionnary/Models"

Make system crash and unrecoverable:

Caused by: java.lang.StackOverflowError
at org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.M2Model.getName(M2Model.java:170)
at org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.DictionaryRepositoryBootstrap.loadModel(DictionaryRepositoryBootstrap.java:489)
at org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.DictionaryRepositoryBootstrap.loadModel(DictionaryRepositoryBootstrap.java:489)

....

The only way to restart system is to modify repo-admin-context.xml to ignore "Data Dictionary/Models"

Regards

Do you have a patch with a suggested fix?

No sorry

Admin task that is avoided by testing. Pushing to Product Management for evaluation.

Richard Esplin [X] Just an FYI ...

Fix for MNT-15345 (duplicate) is targeted for Enterprise 5.1.1 SP. Hence, when that SP is released and then eventually merged to HEAD this issue can be re-opened and marked as fixed in a future Community build/release.

There are three semi-related fixes targeted for 5.1.1, namely: MNT-14332, MNT-15345, MNT-16279.

@Jan Vonka Thank you for connecting this issue to the duplicates.

I'm was disappointed to see that I closed this as "Won't Fix" without a comment. I don't know what I was thinking.

It is now closed as "Duplicate", and connected with the issues that are progressing toward resolution.
