    Servlet causes browser crash

    jpphoopha

      Distribution: JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1
      OS: SuSE Linux 7.1
      Browser: Netscape 6

      I have an HTML page which calls a servlet which in turn sends its results to a JSP. The HTML and JSP pages work fine, but when trying to call the servlet from the HTML page, the browser crashes. Any ideas?

      Thanks,

      JPH

          Reference previous post, the servlet compiles fine.

          Thanks,

            Possibility 1, a bug in the browser.

            Possibility 2, your servlet or jsp is looping, the browser
            crashes because it can't cope with the volume of html returned.

            Possiblity 3, you aren't closing tags somewhere, which produces a "stack overflow error" in the browser's parser.

            Have you tried using wget to get the html produced by your page, or a different browser?
