Spring Security Log Out Failure http-bio-8080"-exec-5" java.lang.StackOverflowError

I've seen a few examples of Spring's logout and it seems a bit abstract to me. I have a link with the href="appcontext_path/auth/logout.html". The examples I've seen don't have a psychical logout.html in the auth folder. So I'm assuming this is a behind the scenes task. I want to be able to click a log out link that invalidates the session and any associated cookies and navigates to the login page (auth/login.html). When I try the below config, I get a Exception in thread ""http-bio-8080"-exec-5" java.lang.StackOverflowError

Just remove the tag <logout/> and use j_spring_security_logout as a link to the logout functionality.

You have error in configuration <logout logout-url="/auth/logout.html" logout-success-url="/auth/login.html" /> causes Spring logout filter that catches logout.html requests to logout.html (i.e. to itself) - and this causes SOE.

You should use different URLs for logout-url and logout-success-url.
