StackOverflowError

Hi,
I am creating a new JSP and including the header and footer jsp files in it. But when I run the code, I get the following exception:

PWC1406: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

Can anyone help me in resolving this?

Can we have a look on the code?

[Rob Spoor]

The error comes from the parsing part. This makes me think that you perhaps include a file recursively. Without seeing the code we can't be sure though.

Edit: I've written a simple example which includes itself. My stack trace looks similar. That strengthens my believe about a recursive include.
My test JSP (called test.jsp):

<%@ include file="test.jsp" %>
Hello World

Thanks Rob.. problem was the same, "recursive inclusion of header.jsp" but the hierarchy was too long to track, but i finally solved the problem.. thanks :)
