I’ve been working on building a fairly large Model-Glue application and it’s been up and running for going on 4 months. Yesterday I was working on some of the planned enhancements when I ran into a 500 ROOT CAUSE: java.lang.StackOverflowError problem. I’ve tracked it down to one instance of adding one referenced bean onto one of my service instances. I can comment out the bean and everything compiles. I can change it to one of my DAO beans and it works, I change it to another of my service beans and it causes the StackOverflowError again.

I have moved some of the ColdSpring.xml out to includes to reduce the file size and that has had no effect. I updated to 1.2 and had no change either. I’ve seen some minor changes in the rest of the error stack when I change up the service I’m including, but it’s more often than not this as the next couple lines:

followed by a repeating of the above with several other calls to the cfAbstractBeanFactory instance. I know I’m not providing much, but I’m absolutely stumped as to what can be causing the problem. The bean I am adding that causes the error is also used as a ref bean on another bean without causing the problem. Any ideas that I could poke around at would be much appreciated!
