uhhhhhmmmmmm..... you use the class that is your 'test app' also as the actionhandler.... and you do a lot of work in the constructor. Now that is an obvious explanation why you see the loop. since each time your actionhandler is called it is constructed and starts a new process etc... so it is not a loop, but a recursive thing. Separate your java actionhandler from the test class or make the actionhandler an inner class. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4250481#...
