You need to look further down the stack trace, in particular, there will often/typically be a "Root Cause" listed ... > -- > 2002-09-10 10:01:33 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet >myservlet threw exception > javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception [ ... ] > ----- Root Cause ----- > java.lang.StackOverflowError ... and there it is. What StackOverflowError simply means is that you have an infinite loop. You'll need to debug your code to see where it is.
