iterate through recursive objects

Question

I am trying to iterate through a recursive object but Java has no support for this from what I know.

For example, given the object Item:

pub

I don't know what the exact goal of the function is, but you can always loop recursively through children.

For example

 public void loopChildren(List items) {
     for (Item i : items) {
         System.out.println(i.uuid);
         loopChildren(i.children);           
     }       
 }

It just keep looping until the end of the list. If a child has no children List should be empty so it terminates for that iteration.

Hope this helps.
