Demo rest controller from https://spring.io/quickstart creating fails since spring boot v2.6.8 on gradle project

[vl-brain]

Create demo app from https://spring.io/quickstart. Generate sources on start.spring.io: gradle, spring boot v2.6.8+spring-web, java 11, jar.
Write handler:

@SpringBootApplication
@RestController
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String hello(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) {
        return String.format("Hello %s!", name);
    }

}

demo.zip
Run ./gradlew bootRun

Project run success If use maven with spring boot v2.6.7+ or gradle with srping boot v2.6.7.

[philwebb]

Could you please provide the complete stacktrace.

[philwebb]

I'm unable to replicate the problem locally.

[vl-brain]

Add full stacktrace

[wilkinsona]

I can't see any reason for a stack overflow there. There's no potentially unbounded recursion, for example. Are you running the JVM with an unusually small thread stack size?
