I have the same issue, did you find a way to resolve it ? Regards

Nope, no resolution yet, though I haven't had too much time to investigate over the past 2 weeks. Please let me know if you find a solution as well.

Please provide more details. What version of JRE, what version of the plugin, etc...

I need a more verbose stacktrace. I cannot tell where this error is coming from based on the stacktrace given.

Can you provide these details?

here is what i have. This is just when i try to test the connection.

Can you guys swap to an Oracle JVM for Jenkins to see if that corrects the issue for now?

Hi guys,

My problem has been solved, the problem was that the Websphere application server was started using root by mistake, started it using it's user solved everything, I guess that if at some point the issues remains, starting Jenkins using root user would solve the issue.

Thanks Greg, I really appreciate your support.

Nice catch. Postponed for a while.

I confirmed my websphere instance is not started using root. However, it is started using a separate user from my jenkins user.

I am reopening this issue as i am still getting the stack overflow error. I even get this on just testing the connection. I verified that jenkins and websphere are not running under root, though they are not running at the same user (though i think this is ok).

Rusty,

Please provide more details on your environment in the plugin description. Are you running with plugin under IBM's J9 JRE or Oracle's JRE?

Greg,

I am running jenkins with IBM J9 JRE under java 1.7u85. Should I try using OpenJDK?

Yes, please try running Jenkins on OpenJDK to see if that makes a difference. If it does, I'll rename the bug something that's more specific to J9.

popeye Did running Jenkins under OpenJDK fix this issue?

Yes, running Jenkins under OpenJDK did fix this issue. Thanks for the help!
