StackOverflowError in EPP 5 with LDAP

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform (EPP)
    • 5.0.1.GA

Issue

Having configured to read groups from LDAP, EPP 5.0.1.GA fails to start with the following error:

WARN [core.security.SetCurrentIdentityFilter] An error occured while cache user profile 
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.StackOverflowError 
at org.exoplatform.portal.application.PortalController.onService(PortalController.java:131)

[...]

Resolution

Upgrade to EPP 5.1.0 or later, which contains a fix for JBEPP-635

Root Cause

This is caused by some groups in the LDAP structure containing a circular cross reference, which leads to a loop in the GroupDAOImpl.getGroupId(..) method.

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBEPP-635 has been created to get this fixed.
