http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5599 StackOverflowError [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-01-02 17:19 ------- This is a user error, and Tomcat cannot do anything to stop it. When you use a URL mapping of "/*", that means you want this servlet to be responsible for ALL requests for the web application (even JSP pages). So, the RequestDispatcher you create will therefore cause the same servlet to be invoked again, which will do the same thing again, and so on. If you want to "protect the contents of a directory", you should use a *Filter* mapped to "/*" rather than a *Servlet*. This doesn't interfere with the actual processing performed by your servlets and JSP pages, but does give you the opportunity to intercept things. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
