Question

I got a StackOverflow error, so i thought asking in stackoverflow.

Send failed
Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 500: url: 'http://localhost:8080/context/messagebroker/amf'

And this will come up when u type the messagebroker servlet url:

HTTP 500 -

Answer 1

But by the time i was typing this question, i found out what it was… I had a circular reference on a global object declared on a application scoped class. It was an unintended copy-paste… So when the messagebroker/amf was launching, it got stuck on the circular reference instancing the same object over and over. I’m leaving the post in case someone else comes into this error, because google didn’t help much.
