Thanks Andy, I will work on the method, which is bigger in size and causing this error. I can try to split the single big method into several small pieces. Meanwhile these exceptions are very common in my application though the aspectj instrumentation is very small.
In aspectj source code, where the details of 2 bytes for IFLE and 4 bytes for GOTO is specified. How to wider from the initial 2 bytes to 4 bytes. Can i try any alternative in aspectj front to avoid this error.

The instructions are being reorganized now that new code has been inserted by AspectJ. Destinations for branch targets that moved (probably due to the insertion of advice) are being recomputed. If the jump destination is a long way away for some instructions it is possible to switch to a 'wide' version of the instruction to encode the 'further' destination (so use 4bytes instead of 2bytes). If the instruction was a GOTO we could use a GOTO_W instead. In your case it isn't a goto, it is IFLE (if less than or equal) and we can't fit the expected destination into the space we have available to encode the target. The 'fix' in AspectJ is to dynamically adjust the IFLE to a nearby branch destination and then use a GOTO_W to get to the real target, but we haven't had time to implement that. Basically you have a big method and you are weaving stuff into it and just pushing the branches too far apart. Do you need to weave so much into the method in question? Does any extra exception info tell you the method in question? I can't recall. cheers, Andy On 11 September 2013 01:36, Krishna Jasty <krishna.ja...@tcs.com> wrote: Hi, When i use the aspectj in our application, i am facing the following exception.
