[Json-rpc-java] Recursion Problem with Sets

[Arthur Blake]

Sorry for the lag on this response!  I've confirmed this.

Yes the BeanSerializer is the only serializer that explicitly detects
circular references.  Sets, Maps and Lists of each other do not properly do
this circular reference detection and will cause an infinite loop that
eventually terminates in a stack overflow.

William Becker and I are currently working on support for Circular
References, which indirectly will solve this problem by actually supporting
the circular references.
