Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError

[csharp100]

Hello everyone! As the title says I am having a problem with my code. There error I am getting is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError
	at java.util.LinkedList.get(LinkedList.java:315)
	at probtest.prob.iterate(prob.java:66)
	at probtest.prob.iterate(prob.java:93)
	at probtest.prob.iterate(prob.java:88)

Here is my code:

import java.util.*;

public class prob
{
  public int probType;
  public String src;
  public LinkedList<String> dest;
  public Answer done;

  public prob(int num, String node1)
  {
    probType = num;
    src = node1;
    dest = new LinkedList<String>();
    done = new Answer(src);
  }

  public prob(int num, String node1, LinkedList<String> node2)
  {
    probType = num;
    src = node1;
    dest = node2;
    done = new Answer(src);
  }

  public void solve(data_list d)
  {
    if (probType == 1)
    {
      String tempStr = dest.get(0);
      iterate(done, d, src, tempStr);
    }
    if (probType == 2)
    {

      iterate(done, d, src, temp1);
    }

      {
        temp2.add(d.cities[i]);
      }
      iterate(done, d, src, temp2);
    }
    done.printAnswer();
  }

      {
        a.add(temp.cost, temp.src);
        iterate(a, d, temp.src, s2);
      }
    }
  }

  public void iterate(Answer a, data_list d, String s, LinkedList<String> lis)
  {
    LinkedList<String> l = new LinkedList<String>();
    for ( int i = 0; i < lis.size(); i++ )

        if (temp.src.equals(s) && !temp.dest.equals(l.get(j)))
        {
          a.add(temp.cost, temp.dest);
          iterate(a, d, temp.dest, l);
          continue;
        }
        if (temp.dest.equals(s) && !temp.src.equals(l.get(j)))
        {
          a.add(temp.cost, temp.src);
          iterate(a, d, temp.src, l);
          continue;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This is just one class and can provide others if needed, but do not think they will be needed. My question is what could be causing this and how do I fix it? Thanks!

So what if it is cross posted? Is that against the rules? If more people spent time actually trying to help as opposed to criticizing a post, I would think more people such as myself, would be more inclined to help others.

Way to go, csharp100. Now you're going to have people falling over each other trying to help you. Not.

More to the point, where do you see criticism in Norm's post? I see a simple statement of fact. So all that your knee-jerk reaction proves is that you believe cross posting to be wrong, but went ahead and did it anyways.

Again, it's not criticism, it is warning to other volunteers here to check the cross-post so as not to waste time answering a question that's already been answered elsewhere. I don't know about you, but I value my free time, and I very much appreciate it if posters let us know up front that they've cross-posted and where they've done so because it shows that they have consideration for my time as well.
