Error attributes: {timestamp=Wed Jan 22 15:50:3
1 UTC 2025, exception=java.lang.StackOverflowError, trace=java.lang.StackOverflowError
Environment: Spring Boot 3.3.2, Spring Framework 6.1.11, JDK 17
In the stack trace, there is no call from our code, only from java.base/java.lang
I looked between the last log from our code base to the next expected log message in our code base and there we are not starting a new thread and we are not reading/writing anything to a SQL DB.
After thoroughly researching, we haven't found any cases matching our specific problem.
Its a known bug to a range of jdk17 builts. Please update to a newer release of the jdk17 should help.
