Stack Overflow with FormItem.setDefaultValue(Object)

[stonebranch2]

Hi Isomorphic,

I have a case where I am calling com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.FormItem.setDefaultValue(Object) where the Object is an instanceof String, and I am getting a stack overflow exception.

It would appear that the method recursively calls itself under this scenario, as it simply passes the value into setDefaultValue "as-is".

    public void setDefaultValue(Object value) {
          if (value == null) {
              setAttribute("defaultValue", (String) null);
          } else if (value instanceof String) {
              // To avoid GWT Issue 4301, check for a `String' instance and handle that specially.
              // http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=8159#aStringObject
              setDefaultValue(value);
          }
  ...
  
      }

Thanks for pointing this out. We've fixed it in SGWT 9.0p and newer, and the change will be in the nightly builds dated 2016-05-27 and beyond.
