I'm getting this after trying to access some rest resources. Everything works fine on production, so I suppose there are some tomcat problems on my local pc. Spend two hours trying to find answers but didn't succeed.

Did anyone occurred with same error? Need help!

Answer 1

It might be because you are assigning request.getParameterMap() any of the variable. Instead of that try using

Map<String, String[]> map = new HashMap<>(request.getParameterMap());

which will only create a copy of it.

Sometimes this may solve your problem
