I'm getting a strange exception from my RESTEasy server. This happens when a particularly large response is being returned to the client.
The exception occurs after my code has returned the result object to RESTEasy, so it's all inside the RESTEasy layer. The server is TomCat.
Small responses are fine, but large ones are triggering the error. This happens if I return JSON or XML, and is triggered by size of the response, not the content in the objects I'm returning.
I've searched around, but haven't found anything helpful yet, and am pretty much lost at this point....

Update: I actually had this happen again! Scott's answer below covered the first case, but the second time was due to inserting a null value for a response header. RESTEasy accepted the null header value at the time I inserted it, but then blew up when it tried to serialize the response after exiting from my code.
