Well, no-one can help you without seeing the corresponding code! — Oliver Charlesworth

You probably have a recursive call that does not terminate, but I can't see the problem since I don't have your source code. Post a code example (sscce.org) — sverre

This one looks simple. Stock and Invoice constructors are called in a recursive manner. — Rekin
– Rekin, Commented Jun 4, 2011 at 12:09
in Invoice c-tor you call new Stock(), and that new Stock() c-tor, you have new Invoice(). There you have it, w/o the code :) — bestsss

In the Invoice constructor, you're creating a new Stock object (in line 1135).

In the Stock constructor, you're creating a new Invoice object (in line 670).

In the Invoice constructor, you're creating a new Stock object (in line 1135).

and so on and on, until you reach the maximum stack depth. You need to figure out which one of Invoice and Stock should automatically create new instances of the other, or create the objects and then assign them to each other.

Well.. We need to see some code before we can answer you, but stackoverflow exceptions usually happens when you have some code calling itself without ever ending (Recursion, without progress). So you should look at your code, and find out under what conditions it should terminate the loop, and why it doesnt do that yet :)
