Infinite recursion (StackOverflowError) when validating recursive model

[Ellyx Christian]

we have model definition like below, Characteristic has relationship to it own (recursive)

 {
  "components": {
    "schemas": {
      "Characteristic": {
        "title": "Characteristic",
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "id": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "name": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "description": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "characteristicRelationships": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
              "$ref": "#/components/schemas/CharacteristicRelationship"
            }
          }
        }
      },
      "CharacteristicRelationship": {
        "title": "CharacteristicRelationship",
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "type": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "characteristic": {
            "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Characteristic"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

An error occur when creating validator for the API spec (OpenAPI v3).

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Infinite recursion (StackOverflowError) (through reference chain: io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.Schema["properties"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["class"]->io.swagger.v3.oas.models.media.Schema["properties"]

i used this code to create validation object

final ParseOptions parseOptions = new ParseOptions();
parseOptions.setResolveFully(true);
parseOptions.setResolveCombinators(true);

final OpenApiInteractionValidator validator = OpenApiInteractionValidator
    .createForInlineApiSpecification(this.specString)
    .withParseOptions(parseOptions)
    .build();
