      Hi All,

      We just experienced an issue about infinispan distributed session hang forever in our cluster enabled environment. After investigation, we finally found it is due to a StackOverflowError throw in the Wildfly internal, after doing the following thing:

      foo.jsp:

      <!-- some other HTML tag here, which is not related, just need to ensure something already write to the output -->
<jsp:include page="/include.jsp" />

       

      include.jsp:

      <%
    // read and write some session attributes here, to lock the infinispan distributed session forever...
    session.setAttribute("someAttribute", "someValue");
    // then do a Servlet forward, will result in a StackOverflowError, and the infinispan cache lock will not be release, so the whole server hang...
    // while the "forward.jsp" is not related, can even be a blank JSP.
    request.getRequestDispatcher("/forward.jsp").forward(request, response);
    return;
%>

       

      This issue already tested in Wildfly 8.2.1.Final, 9.0.2.Final and 10.0.0.Final with the shipped standalone-full-ha.xml configuration, both of them can be reproduced.

      The reproducible sample is enclosed.
