[Simple-support] CyclicStrategy throws CycleException: Invalid reference 'p101.a' found

[Benoît P. <ben...@un...>]

Hi,

I have the following cross-reference situation :

<apples>
   <apple id="a1">
     <cake ref="c1">
   </apple>
</apples>
<cakes>
   <cake id="c1">
     <apple ref="a1">
   </cake>
</cakes>

And I thought that including a CyclicStrategy would do deserialize it  
into two objects, each being a member field of the other:

strategy = new CycleStrategy("id", "ref");
serializer = new Persister(strategy);

However,
the first reference (<cake ref="c1">) is not resolved and a  
CycleException is thrown.

So it looks like Cycles are only meant to "go backward", not forward ?

thanks,
b.
