项目异常如下：

看异常的名字会发现是栈溢出，而且第一处后面出现大量的递归的提示，这边的原因是因为使用了jpa的实体类注解@ManyToMany,@ManyToOne,@OneToOne并且是双向表关联

举个例子：

@Entity 
@Table(name = "t_student") 
public class Student{ 
    @Id 
    @GeneratedValue 
    private Integer sId; 
    @Column(length = 20) 
    private String sName; 
    //学生所修课程 
    @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "students") 
    private List<Course> courses; 
    //get、set 方法省略 
}
    
     

@Entity 
@Table(name = "t_course") 
public class Course{ 
    @Id 
    @GeneratedValue 
    private Integer cId; 
    @Column(length = 20) 
    private String cName; 
    //上课的学生 
    @ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL) 
    private List<Student> students; 
    //get、set 方法省略 
}
    
     

一个student类和一个course类分别对应 t_student 表和 t_course表,它们是多对多的关系，一个学生可以修多个课程，一个课程可以有多个学生修

省略仓储层代码…

控制层代码

@RestController 
public class TestController{ 
    @Autowired 
    private StudentRepository studentRep; 
 
    @RequestMapping("/test") 
    public int test(){ 
        List<Student> students = stntRep.findAll(); 
        students.forEach(data->{ 
            System.out.println(data); 
        }); 
        return 1; 
    } 
}
    
     

此时，程序运行便会报 java.lang.StackOverflowError: null 异常

Student类中有一个字段List<Course> courses，在遍历集合中，输出一个student实例的时候，List<Course> courses 字段也将输出，因为是双向多对多的关联查询，每一个Course实例也会输出List<Student> students 字段值，因此一直递归下去直到栈溢出报错，若是单向多对多就不会发生这样地递归

其实一开始报这个错完全是因为对spring-data-jpa不熟悉，了解之后一想就通了。

解决办法：

方法一：
此处，若不需要查看关联表中的字段信息时，可以在遍历List<Student> students集合时先将关联对象设置为null,即：

students.forEach(data->{ 
    data.setCourses(null); 
    System.out.println(data); 
});
    
     

这样才能打印出Student 实例中除了courses 字段之外地所有数据

方法二：
取消使用双向多对多关联，改为使用单向多对多，这样也可以同时将关联表中所对应的数据查询出来使用
