31 * Optional interface that can be implemented by JAXB-bound objects
32 * to handle cycles in the object graph.
33 *
34 * <p>
35 * As discussed in <a href="https://jaxb.dev.java.net/guide/Mapping_cyclic_references_to_XML.html">
36 * the users' guide</a>, normally a cycle in the object graph causes the marshaller to report an error,
37 * and when an error is found, the JAXB RI recovers by cutting the cycle arbitrarily.
38 * This is not always a desired behavior.
39 *
40 * <p>
41 * Implementing this interface allows user application to change this behavior.
42 * Also see <a href="http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=13670">this related discussion</a>.
