Unexpected exception parsing XML document from Servlet Context resource [/WEB-INF/beans.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.StackOverflowError

[Henri van den Bulk]

Downloaded the tomcat version configured to run with hibernate and  
Derby using config files that are in SVN. When starting up the  
following message is provided in the juddi.log. Any ideas as to what's  
causing this?
