We have had a problem reported where a soap request to confluence results in a stack overflow when running with JRockit (1.4.2 and 5.0). It appears not to happen with Sun, but this could be dumb luck.

The problem seems to be recursive calls in a 3rd party lib (glue5). Unfortunately we cannot get the source to this since they are now a part of WebMethods

We would like to figure out if this is a bug in glue5, confluence, JRockit, or some combination.

Could you help by looking at the code to see what is going on, and if possible sending an isolated reproducer?

Or simply send us the source code for the recursive call?

Attaching a full stack trace from the point at which the stack overflow occurs – you will see very clearly where the recursion is happening...
