Description

I am running a Spring Boot 2.7.0 (Latest) Tomcat embedded WAR + Spring Security + Struts 6.0.0 Actions + JSP pages. I started noticing a loop when a Struts2 Action result type is a "dispatcher" with following repetitive stack trace. Then, a stack overflow is raised.

...... repeated several times ......
