I set the development mode in Orion to true and also set jikes as my compiler but im still getting the same error, is there anything else I could try?
You probably need to clear Orion's cache once you've made the above changes (the persistence directory IIRC).
If the above doesn't help the only real option available is to split the jsp into multiple jsp's and use jsp:include's or the like to stitch the page back together. Some people are ok with doing that, but I hate it as it's a total hack.

Taglib's are a decent solution to many of JSP's problems however they are basically useless for any application that expects to use more than a few taglibs on a single page and still work across most servlet containers. I believe they are more trouble than they are worth.
For you own projects I suggest using Velocity instead of JSP and taglibs. Among other things, it's just as fast if not faster, you should never see the 65k error you've been seeing, and the speed is constant across containers (something that cannot be said for JSP and taglibs).
