Hi all,

I have a java program which runs repeatedly by calling to main functions in a loop based on a condition ..But after running for some time(say 30 minutes),it shows the follwing error and it terminate the program execution.But as per my requirement i want to run this program for several hours or time without showing any error and terminating the program.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError

Could anyone please tell me what is the exact reason for this and how to fix this error.

The code for the same program is below:



Here i am calling the main function again and again using automation1.main(args) at line no 299 and 304.

Please help me in this issue.


Thanks,
Sanat

The calls to main() don't appear to be in any "loop based on a condition" -- every time main() gets to the end, it calls main() again, so eventually, you're going to get a stack overflow.

Instead of calling main() from main(), why don't you move the whole body of main() to another routine (called, say, doWhateverTheHeckThisProgramDoes()) and then in main(), just have a loop like



The recursion goes away, and you don't get any stack overflows.

P.S. "sleep()" is a static method of Thread; you can just call Thread.sleep(), without creating a THread object.

i got your idea.but dont understand how to implement it.Here calling to the main() is part of the body of the main() function itself.So how can we call the routine from main().
Please specify the code for the same.

You don't. You will have to implement it differently.

As I said in my post, move almost all of main() into another routine, and then just have the loop in main(). What more do you need?
