Hi, I'm running camel inside karaf 2.2.5, bootstrapping the camel context with Spring DM.
I also could not reproduce it with a basic unit test like the ones in the camel-core source tree. However I can reproduce it with the camel-maven-plugin ( mvn camel:run ): ************************************* Error occurred while running main from: org.apache.camel.spring.Main java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.camel.maven.RunMojo$1.run(RunMojo.java:416) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) Caused by: java.lang.StackOverflowError at org.apache.camel.model.RouteDefinition.toString(RouteDefinition.java:116) at java.lang.String.valueOf(String.java:2826) at java.lang.StringBuilder.append(StringBuilder.java:115) ... etc ... Thanks for looking into this.
