Hi Michael, After reading your reply, I thought it seemed to explain the recursive call to the EntryServlet, because I do reference other resources like images and other JSPs. So, I ran a test, I wrote a very simple html, like <html><body> can you see this? </body></html>, which does not reference anything in the server, and, arrrrrrrrrrrrgh, I still get my debug msg a thousand times and I get java.lang.StackOverflowError. It still makes that recursive call to the EntryServlet!!!
