Java.lang.StackOverflowError When Mailer Processes Inbound Email (Doc ID 2611474.1)

Last updated on APRIL 04, 2025

Applies to:

Oracle Workflow - Version 12.1.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

The workflow mailer shuts down with a StackOverflowError when it encounters a message with unexpected HTML.   

There is a message in the inbox which is causing this error when the mailer is unable to transform the MIME text format to XML format.

The approval email is stuck in the inbox and is not processed.   The email contains no special characters and does not appear any different from a good one.

 

The email client is MS Outlook 2016 and the mailer is running on Windows OS.   

The error in the FNDCPG log was:
:UNEXPECTED:[SVC-GSM-WFMLRSVC-134236-10006 : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.Processor.run()]:java.lang.StackOverflowError
