因为项目中使用了AJAX技术，JAR包为：json-lib.jar，?在开发过程中遇到了一个JSON-LIB和Hibernate有关的问题：

net.sf.json.JSONException: There is a cycle in the hierarchy!

因为Hibernate中设置了自身关联： Iouser.hbm.xml:

//设置自身关联的组对象

public class GroupRelation implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 6202253180943473205L;
private Integer id;// 主键ID
private Integer creatorId;// 创建人
private Date createDate;// 创建日期
private String groupName;// 组名称
private GroupRelation parentGroup;
private Set childGroups = new HashSet();

起初想通过hibernate来解决问题，就是想过滤掉自身关联后来查资料发现不可能实现，最后找到通过JSON-LIB来过滤关联的集合属性，代码如下：

JsonConfig config = new JsonConfig();
config.setJsonPropertyFilter(new PropertyFilter(){
    public boolean apply(Object source, String name, Object value) {
        if(name.equals("parentGroup") || name.equals("childGroups")) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
});
Iouser user = (Iouser) getBaseManager().get(Iouser.class, iouserId);
JSONObject jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject(user, config);

当JSON-LIB解析JAVABEAN时过滤掉parentGroup、childGroups这两个属性，重新启动服务，pass
