Optional JVM command line settings: stack size

Each time a method is called, a stack frame is created and pushed on to the thread's stack. The stack frame contains, at a minimum, the method's local variables and the method arguments. You can get a java.lang.StackOverflowError exception if you reach the maximum allowable stack limit of a thread.

This can happen if:

• The method call depth is very deep (for example, in the Create Wave agent, the wave optimizer call depth is roughly equal to the number of shipments assigned to a shipment group).
• The stack frame is very large.

You can set the -Xss option to increase the maximum stack size per thread.
