Uncaught exception thrown in one of the service met         


        

Answer 1

this is a general serializing issue. you have to break those dependencies using @Transient while writing to xml or json or object stream.

and you have to wire them back while reading. wiring is done in such method

class Way{
list nodes;
addNode(Node node){
node.setWay(this);
nodes.add(node);

}

}
