Strange error in SpringMVC Application Startup

I'm getting a very strange stack trace when trying to load a SpringMVC application and at a lost to why this is occurring.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter#0': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.http.converter.xml.XmlAwareFormHttpMessageConverter] while setting bean property 'messageConverters' with key [4]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#6': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.http.converter.xml.XmlAwareFormHttpMessageConverter]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Its an Out of Memory Error - your JVM has run out of heap space initializing the webapp. Generally Spring takes care of cyclical references but pasting your bean config XML would help as well - like which scopes you're using, autowiring vs. not, etc.

You might want to increase the heap size using -Xmx VM parameter.

Looks like you have a cyclical reference that just kept on trying to wire up until it exhausted your JVM, you'll need to post your spring file for more help
