IBM Rational Change iFix 5.2.0.4.07

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you define an attribute as extended text and there is some
  HTML in the value, then Rational Change will look through the
  text for a corresponding HTML end tag, and if this fails a
  StackOverFlowError error is thrown. This can be seen when
  handling ?BR? tags for example.
  
  This is the error produced:
  ?domain
  name?.synergy.bus.client.inbound.exception.SynergyClientExceptio
  n:
  
  java.lang.StackOverflowError
