Overriding method causes stack overflow...?

Owen_Sep 12 2011 — edited Sep 13 2011
Hello.

Very simply, I override a method that does something specific in a subclass. I run my program and find that I receive a stack overflow when I call super.method(). I comment out all code but the call the super.method() in the overridden method, re-run, and it still happens.

The overridden method overrides a method from the superclass's superclass. Both superclasses make heavy use of Java generics. I don't know what else would be a useful disclosure about this problem...

What might be going on?

Owen.
