JBWEB000236: Servlet.service() for servlet strutsAction threw exception: java.lang.StackOverflowError

Latest response

Hi Support team,

I'm migrating my application from Jboss 4 to Jboss 7(Jboss EAP 6.x alpha) getting the below error, while trying to search results in my project.
I'm using Java 6, Struts 1.2, EJB 2.0, Jboss 6 EAP alpha.

In our project, "List Manager” page & "Register” page in particular is throwing the stackOverflow exception.

Infinite loop, leading to StackOverflowError in

at org.jboss.marshalling.cloner.SerializingCloner.initSerializableClone(SerializingCloner.java:274)

While analyzing further on the issue, we found it’s a bug reported in JBOSS EAP 6.1.0 Alpha version rather.
The fix mentioned in the Red-hat-bugzilla (below URL)is upgrading to the next targeted release of JBOSS EAP 6.4.0.(which is yet to be released).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1076572

Even I've tried running the project in Jboss EAP 6.3.0, still I'm getting the same error..
Kindly provide a fix/patch to overcome the stackoverflow error in Jboss EAP 6.x

Note: The same code works fine when running in Jboss 4.0
