StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range

Hello,

I have the error. Could you clarify me what it means?

(ExtensionHandler.processEvent): Exception in ExtensionHandler: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 90864

P.S. After this, nothing is working in my server side extension

Yes, I read this. But I don't make any manipulations with strings. Also it seems the error is processed within Smartfox internal environment.

It could be caused by a too large message, maybe an extension message sent via extension using the raw protocol.
If this is the case you should limit the max size of a request in your config.xml (see MaxMsgLen)
Also, it is very likely that this is a malicious attack and the server is simply discarding it.
