my problem start when the FrontController servlet needs to forward the request to other jsp pages and when he uses the Forward method , the tomcat activate my FrontController again , and after a while I get : StackOverflowError .
You say that you're using the forward() method -- why? There are reasons to do this, but if you're trying to create a FrontController, then presumably you're not interested in hitting your jsps directly in the first place. Is there any reason you aren't using a RequestDispatcher to dispatch/include your jsp page output instead of forwarding to the page?
Sorry -- reread this and realized my mind was wondering somewhere else. Next time, remind me not to eat a big lunch and then try to think right away afterwards...
