Effect of StackOverflow error on server

Effect of StackOverflow error on server

Effect of StackOverflow error on server

(OP)
Hello,
Was wondering if one of the requests to a web server results in StackOverflow error is the whole server shutdown or just the thread dies or an error is thrown back to the client?

Thanks,
Salil

RE: Effect of StackOverflow error on server

Will depend on the robustness of the server. In strict theory, it should only affect the ofendind thread, as the resources used by a thread should be limited. But keep in mind that such an error consumes a very high amount of heap space and that will affect the whole server.

Cheers,
Dian
