There is a limit in the JVM which is being crossed when the class
file for the JSP page gets too large. Maybe someone who knows
can elaborate. I would guess this limit is something like
"the maximum length of byte code for a code block, or perhaps a
try/catch, is 64K bytes". The class file for your JSP page
is likely greater than 64K.
I have seen both Jikes and javac silently create class files that
exceed this limit, whatever it is. I have seen the result vary
from incorrect behavior, some complaint from the JVM, to JVM crash.
The only work around I'm aware of is to split up the JSP page into
smaller ones and use <jsp:include>, or find a way to use fewer
tags.
Cheers,
Larry
