Hi, This is most likely a logic/programming error. Target A calls Target B which in turn calls Target A which again calls Target B.. Target A -> Target B -> Target A -> Target B.......... This sets up an infinite recursion, which will result in a StackOverFlowError..
You can increase the stack size by adding the -Xoss JVM parameter, but this will not help. It will only delay the StackOverFlowError till the now larger stack fills up. This will not happen only if there you have set some exit condition which will not continue the recursive call (This is what you would do when you write a recursive function in any programming language ) HTH, Hari On Feb 16, 2008 11:48 AM, Z W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Glenn > > In one of my previous post, I got jstack error when 2 targets are calling > each other. > I have 2 targets namely A, B. > Target A calls target B.
