Solved Stack Overflow?

I'm getting this error that I haven't gotten before with plugins using multiple classes. I'm relatively new using multiple classes so sorry if I'm a bit "nooby".
First of, I'm getting a java.lang.StackOverflow error when my plugin starts up. Looking at the stack trace, these are the parts of the two files that are causing the problems.

Countdowns (open) Countdowns (close)

Code:

Main plugin;
    LobbyHandler lobbyHandler;
    TeamDeathmatchHandler teamDeathmatchHandler;
   
    public Countdowns(Main plugin) {
       
        this.plugin = plugin;
        lobbyHandler = new LobbyHandler(plugin);
        teamDeathmatchHandler = new TeamDeathmatchHandler(plugin);
       
    }

LobbyHandler (open) LobbyHandler (close)

Code:

Main plugin;
    Countdowns countdowns;
   
    public LobbyHandler(Main plugin) {
       
        this.plugin = plugin;
        countdowns = new Countdowns(plugin);
       
    }

The console is just spammed with errors saying that the following lines of codes are causing the problem.

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:

LobbyHandler lobbyHandler;
lobbyHandler = new LobbyHandler(plugin);

Countdowns = countdowns;
countdowns = new Countdowns(plugin);

I'm confused as to why this is causing a problem in my plugin. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

You're creating objects in the constructor endlessly. Countdowns creates a new LobbyHandler, and LobbyHandler creates a new Countdowns, etc.

You should have your main class create both instances, store them, and provide a getter for those values:

Code:java

public Countdowns getCountdowns() {
    return this.countdowns;
}

If I already have a constructor for the Main class in all of my classes could I just do plugin.[class-name here].

Code:

    Main plugin;
   
    public Countdowns(Main plugin) {
       
        this.plugin = plugin;
       
    }

You didn't read his post carefully enough. Read it again and see your problem.

I see my problem but what I was asking if it's really necessary to have a getter method inside the Main class.
Couldn't I just use the following to get access things in my other classes?

Code:

plugin.[classNameHere]

In something like C#, yes, that would be normal convention, but in Java you're generally going to have a method to return the value rather than getting it directly.

Thanks, I understand now.
