Java antipattern name? Objects containing objects containing... etc

Question

Is there a name or a particular rule for objects that contain objects that contain... and so on. I'm working with a complex system that often has objects running 5-10 layers deep. One reason I'm hearing for why this is done is to pass a lot of data from server to client all at once, is there a better way to do this?

Edit: It seems that it is a combination of a few anti patterns. The Domain model should be cleaned up, and the following antipatterns are the smells: Train Wreck Pattern, and Everything but the kitchen-sink map
