dispatcher.forward giving StackOverflowError

hello

I started writing writing a web module eclipse/lomboz for jboss/jetty

when I try to use request dispatcher in main controller in doGet:

String nextView;
//...
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = context.getRequestDispatcher(nextView);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

I get the following error(no matter what view is choosen):
17:44:36,419 WARN [jbossweb] WARNING: Error for /EDoktorWEBModule/ser
java.lang.StackOverflowError

However dispatcher gives no error when it is used from jsp page eg.
<jsp:forward page="myview.jsp"/>

any suggestions, folks?

thanks in advance

Depending on your servlet-mapping (url-pattern) there's a chance for an endless recursion (well, limited by stack size).
I once had a similiar problem when having a servlet mapped to "/*".
YMMV.

thanks

actually this is the case in my application

so can I ask question how to have a single entry point to my webapp and possibility to forwarding to views from the main servlet at the same time?

thanks in advance
