Objects involved in a cycle!

[Alexandre Martins]

Anyone could help me please?
I have 2 objects involved in a cycle.

class Objeto1() {
    Objeto2 obj2;
 
    Objeto2 getObj2() {
        return obj2;
    }
 
    void setObj2(Object2 obj2) {
        this.obj2 = obj2;
    }
}

class Objeto2() {
    Objeto1 obj1;
 
    Objeto1 getObj1() {
        return obj1;
    }
 
    void setObj1(Object1 obj1) {
        this.obj1 = obj1;
    }
} 

I did a factory in order to build these objects, as follows:

class Factory() {
    Objeto1 createObjeto1() {
        Objeto1 obj1 = new Objeto1();
        obj1.setObj2(createObjeto2());
    }
 
    Objeto2 createObjeto2() {
        Objeto2 obj2 = new Objeto2();
        obj2.setObj1(createObjeto1());
    }
} 

How can i build one of these objects without have an StackOverflow error?
Thanks!

Just don't use the factory methods in implementing the factory methods.

class Factory() {
    Objeto1 createObjeto1() {
        Objeto1 obj1 = new Objeto1();
        Objeto2 obj2 = new Objeto2();
        obj1.setObj2(obj2);
        obj2.setObj1(obj1);
    }
 
}

Is this a definition, or a constructor?

class Objeto1() {
    Objeto2 obj2;
 
class Objeto1 {
    Objeto2 obj2;
