I'm writing some JUnit tests with Mockito and Podam. Lots of stuff working fine, but I ran into an issue in one test case while generating a recursive object.

Code like the following throws PodamMockeryException with podam 7.0.0.RELEASE on the manufacturePojo() line:

@Test
 public void testDoTest() {
     PodamFactory podamfactory = new PodamFactoryImpl();
     Entity eTest = podamfactory.manufacturePojo(Entity.class);
More stack trace and the entity are below.
Entity is a JPA entity and it looks a bit like the following:
public class Entity extends AllTheEntities {
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "DOCUMENT_SEQ")
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "DOCUMENT_SEQ", sequenceName = "DOCUMENT_SEQ", allocationSize = 1)
    @Column(name = "DOCUMENT_ID", precision = 19)
    private long objectId;
    @Column(name = "NAME")
    private String name;
    // bi-directional many-to-one associations
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "FK_STND_MIME_TYPE_ID", nullable = false)
    private StndMimeTypeEntity stndMimeType;
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "document", cascade = CascadeType.REMOVE)
    private List<FolderThingEntity> FolderThings;
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "document", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private List<FieldData> fieldData;
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="document")
    private List<PersonalFormContentEntity> personalFormContents;
    public Entity() {
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    public List<FieldData> getDocumentBindFieldData() {
        return this.fieldData;
    public void setDocumentBindFieldData(
            List<FieldData> fieldData) {
        this.fieldData = fieldData;
    public FieldData addDocumentBindFieldData(
            FieldData fieldData) {
        getDocumentBindFieldData().add(fieldData);
        fieldData.setDocument(this);
        return fieldData;
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Entity [objectId=" + objectId + ", name="
    + name + ", stndMimeType=" + stndMimeType.getStndMimeTypeId() + "]";
    public OfficeActionEntity getForm() {
        FolderThingEntity fd = getFolderThings().get(0);
        FolderEntity folderEntity = fd.getFolder();
        return folderEntity.getForm();

I guess FieldData object contains java.sql.Timestamp or extends it. The latter requires very specific values for its setters. So there is a need for customized random values tailored for this class. Here is an example, how this can be achieved:
PodamFactory podamFactory = new PodamFactoryImpl();
TypeManufacturer<Integer> manufacturer = new IntTypeManufacturerImpl() {
    @Override
    public Integer getInteger(AttributeMetadata attributeMetadata) {
        if (attributeMetadata.getPojoClass() instanceof Timestamp) {
            return PodamUtils.getIntegerInRange(0, 999999999);
        } else {
            return super.getInteger(attributeMetadata);
podamFactory.getStrategy().addOrReplaceTypeManufacturer(int.class, manufacturer);
FieldData pojo = podamFactory.manufacturePojo(FieldData.class);
