I am getting a Stackoverflow error on Java Console while opening the Applets over network on Java Version 8 build 1.8.0_45-b15 . The applet gets loaded but takes around 8 minutes and the same works fine in any of the Java 7 versions over the network .
Can anyone please help .. The stacktrace is as follows .
java.lang.StackOverflowError

I have a similar problem and finding.
We are using an applet in Firefox.
Current Testing versions:
- Firefox: 46.0.1
- Java: jre1.8.0_51 (32bit)
I used JFR (Java Flight Recorder) and Oracle Mission Control to analyse a long hang (about 5s) on startup of our UI.
My finding so far is that the method Permissions.implies() takes extremely long for an unknown reason.
My analysis showed 2 long blocked stacks for 2 different threads which both were hanging long (about 2s & 4s) in this method.
Here is one call stack that JMC isolated: (For reference: 4.340.000.123ns = 4.34s)
