getAnnotated fields recursively

I am trying recursively get annotated fields with prefix for nested annotated fields. So for class SomeClassA I want to get:

1. field someString + prefix ""
2. field stringB + prefix "someClassB."

---

data class SomeClassA(
       private val someClassB : SomeClassB,
       @SomeAnnotation
       private val someString: String)

data class SomeClassB(
        @SomeAnnotation
        private val stringB: String, 
        @JsonIgnore
        private val someClassA: SomeClassA)

This works for simple situations, but when classes have bidirectional properties, I get stackoverflow (because recursive call)

private fun <T : Annotation> getAnnotatedFields(fields: Array<Field>, clazz: Class<T>, prefix: String = ""): List<Pair<Field, String>>  =
     fields
         .filter { BeanUtils.isSimpleProperty(it.type)
                 .and(Objects.nonNull(it.getAnnotation(clazz))) }
         .map { it to prefix } +
     fields
         .filter { BeanUtils.isSimpleProperty(it.type).not()
                 .and(Objects.isNull(it.getAnnotation(JsonIgnore::class.java))) }
         .map { getAnnotatedFields(it.type.declaredFields, clazz,"$prefix${it.name}.") }
         .flatMap { it.toList() }

getAnnotatedFields(SomeClassA::class.java.declaredFields, SomeAnnotation::class.java)

So for now I annotate bidirectional field with different annotation (It is @JsonIgnore, but not really important) and filter this fields .and(Objects.isNull(it.getAnnotation(JsonIgnore::class.java))) Maybe someone can suggest how can I do it better?
