[TYPO3-mvc] Tx_Extbase_MVC_Exception_InfiniteLoop

[Mark Kuiphuis]

Hi all,

Some people have already written about this in the newsgroup before, but whatever I 
do, I cannot get rid of the InfiniteLoop problem.

I am building a small extension where people can select one travel brochure 
($program) at a time and then order that brochure. But whatever I do, I cannot get 
the order form to submit.

It happens with TYPO3 4.5.10 (Extbase: 1.3.1-devel) and also with 4.6.2 (Extbase 1.4.1)

<f:flashMessages /> also occasionally outputs over a 100 error messages like:

An error occurred while trying to call 
Tx_TravelPrograms_Controller_OrderController->createAction()
An error occurred while trying to call 
Tx_TravelPrograms_Controller_OrderController->newAction()

An error occurred while trying to call

An error occurred while trying to call

This happens after just clearing the cache and going through the process of ordering 
a travel brochure.

My controller looks like this:

<?php
	class Tx_TravelPrograms_Controller_OrderController extends 
Tx_Extbase_MVC_Controller_ActionController {

		/*
		 * The referral Repository
		 */
		public $referralRepository;
		
		/*
		 * The orderRepository
		 */
		public $orderRepository;

		/*
		 * Initialises the repositories
		 */
		public function initializeAction() {
			$this->referralRepository = 
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Repository_ReferralRepository');
			$this->orderRepository = 
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Repository_OrderRepository');
		}
		
		/*
		 * Displays a form for creating a new order
		 *
		 * @param Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Program $program The selected program
		 * @param Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Order $newOrder The new order object
		 * @dontvalidate $newOrder
		 * @return string An HTML form for creating a new order
		 */
		public function newAction(Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Program $program, 
Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Order $newOrder = NULL) {

			$referrals = $this->referralRepository->findAllReferrals();

			$this->view->assign('program', $program);
			$this->view->assign('newOrder', $newOrder);
			$this->view->assign('referrals', $referrals);
		}

		/*
		 * @param Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Program $program The selected program
		 * @param Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Order $newOrder A fresh newOrder object 
which has not been added to the repository yet
		 * @return void
		 */
		public function createAction(Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Program $program, 
Tx_TravelPrograms_Domain_Model_Order $newOrder) {
			$this->orderRepository->add($newOrder);
			$this->redirect('show');
		}

		/*
		 * Just a comment...
		 */
		public function showAction() {
			echo "ShowAction ---<br/>";
		}
	}
?>

The @dontvalidate $newOrder is there, but I keep on getting this 101 infinite loop error

The fluid form looks like this:

<f:flashMessages />

	<f:form action="create" name="newOrder" object="{newOrder}" noCacheHash="true">

I temporarily disabled the newsletter property as this is generating another error 
that no value could be found for key formObject...(don't know the exact error message)...

Any help is kindly appreciated :-)
