Description

When trying to configure the GroovyServlet to direct all request to a single groovy script to be able to have dynamic RESTful URLs, a java.lang.StackOverflowError is thrown. What seems to be happening is something is recursively calling the getResource() method on the AbstractHttpServlet over and over always appending BeanInfo onto the name of the file. I've attached a simple war file that demonstrates this. I've also included the log file as well.
