JSF2 and Richfaces 3.3.3 application on tomcat 6.0 crashes with a StackOverflowError
- by Vivek Madapura V
Hi,
I am using JSF 2 and richfaces 3.3.3 for an application hosted on tomcat 6.0.20.
The application crashes as soon as a request is made via the browser (Mozilla and IE).
My web.xml looks like this:

The exception is

The stack trace is recursively logged with this until the StackOverflowError occurrs.
If I remove all the configurations related to Richfaces, the application works like charm.
Any advice is much appreciated.
