Caused by: java.lang.StackOverflowError

Try adding stack. See if you get this error with the -Xss1m parameter and work your way down. If it fails at ! meg then the stack issue is a symptom and not the problem.

(right click the apache icon, go to the Java tab on Apache Tomcat Properties, and add -Xss1m in the Java Options field. My java options looks like this (YMMV):


-Dcatalina.home=d:\Tomcat
-Dcatalina.base=d:\Tomcat
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=d:\Tomcat\common\endorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=d:\Tomcat\temp

Two comments:

1) it seems you are using the default DB install (hsql). If this is the case, note that this is just for demo purpose and not for "operations". Try moving to mysql first and see if this solves the problem

2) Look at a possible cyclic references that generates the infinite lookup. If this is the case, then look why this cyclic ref is there. This is the problem.

Hi,
I have faced the same problem and changed index.recovery.mode=FULL to index.recovery.mode=VALIDATE. It's working properly now.

I had the same problem with version 2.9.0, running Apache Tomcat on Fedora Linux. Based on the above description, I added the following environment variable to my profile and FULL reindexing was then successfully completed on next startup:

CATALINA_OPTS='-server -Xms100m -Xmx512m -Xss1m -Xmn10m'

Thanks for this recommendation!
