[BUG] 538 - causes stack overflow when is an HTML file

[Catherine Jung]

Hi, no-one on the user list could help, and I've tried enough ways
around this to make me decide it's a
bug, rather than something I'm doing wrong (unless someone can correct
me :) )


Specifying an HTML file as the <location> of an <error-page>
causes tomcat to go into a loop of webpage requests, until
it hits a StackOverflowError.

This problem doesn't occur if you specify a jsp page instead
of an HTML file.



java.lang.StackOverflowError
        at java.io.FileNotFoundException.(FileNotFoundException.java:62)

        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:64)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:95)

org.apache.tomcat.request.FileHandler.doService(StaticInterceptor.java:387)

repeat last 4 lines many, many times.

tomcat prints this to console many times before throwing this error:

2000-12-06 05:11:16 - Ctx( /Greeting ): 404 R( /Greeting + /index.htm +
null) null

but nothing occurs in the error logs....

Running tomcat 3.2 final Standalone, on Solaris 7.

Hope someone can help,

Catherine
