StackOverflowError通常情况下是死循环或者是循环依赖了。看一下异常，框架spring等爆出的异常都不用管，找到自己写的那个类，比如上面的CategoryServiceImpl是我自己写的，它里面抛出了异常，就说明这个类中死循环或者循环依赖了。检查一下注入的东西：

@Service
public class CategoryServiceImpl implements CategoryService {
    @Autowired
    private CategoryService categoryDAO;

    @Override
    public void addCategory(Category category) {
        categoryDAO.addCategory(category);
    }

苍天，@Autowared应该注入的是CategoryDAO，而我写成了CategoryService，就导致创建CategoryService的bean时不停的注入自己，死循环了。正确的是：

@Service
public class CategoryServiceImpl implements CategoryService {
    @Autowired
    private CategoryDAO categoryDAO;

    @Override
    public void addCategory(Category category) {
        categoryDAO.addCategory(category);
    }

另外一个原因，可能是实体类之间的循环依赖，

public class Teacher{
    private List<Student> stu;
}

public class Student{
    private Teacher teacher;
}

如两个类中都互相依赖了对方，那么在toString()或者转换成json的时候就会死循环，造成内存溢出。不要把依赖的对象toString()至少在其中一方，toString()的时候不选对方。如果转Json的时候，可以在其中一方的属性上加@JsonIgnore，不转这个属性
