JSP compilation: code too large on SP14

Hello,
I developed EP application based on JSPDynPage on SP13 with big jsp file. This application was running on SP13 without problem.
Later, we upgraded to SP14 and application logged exception: "code too large" when compiling jsp.
I tried to devide the big jsp to several jsp, but problems remains the same.
I searched SDN. I tried set jsp.bigmode.delimit.size to 10000, 20000 and 1. Nothing helps.
I followed OSS Note:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/bc-jas/~form/handler{5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383230323832}

Portal JSP compiler fails when code generated is too long
SAP Note Number: 820282
Symptom
In a few cases, the compilation of jsp files fails (if their size is very large) because the generated Java code exceeds the 65K limitation (per method) of SUN JVM or the system crashes when it tries to load a class file that was not correctly constructed (method size > 65K).
Other terms
JSP, Portal, too long, compilation, compiler, over size, try
Reason and Prerequisites
SUN JVM and othes do not support a method which has more than 65K of byte code.
Solution
The fix is available in +SP2 PL 31 and +EP6 SP11 Patch 2.
Once you have installed the fix, you need to edit the file irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\system\properties\prtCentral.properties.bak.
Check if the property "jsp.bigmode.delimit.size" is present. Otherwise add the line "jsp.bigmode.delimit.size=10000", rename the file to "prtCentral.properties" and restart the server.
The number is the limit size in bytes when the big jsp mode is enabled (you should therefore change the Java template generated from the jsp file to a size larger than the limit)
In rear cases where JSP files are including sources prior to their compilation you should set the parameter to a lower value. In the extreme case you can use jsp.bigmode.delimit.size=1 and enable the big mode jsp optimization for all files.
To deactive the big jsp mode, set jsp.bigmode.delimit.size=-1

Oracle JSP Exception code too large for try block

My jsp is exceeding the memory limit (64KB for Oracle 10g App server i think its the JVM limit),
so it is throwing exception ,code too large for try block,how to over come this,I cant minimize the use of logic tags because it is business requirement.please help me out.

I think you need to give a value to the attribute buffer in the <%@ page%> directive to solve the problem.
There will not be any need of going for pagination then.
buffer="none | 8kb | sizekb"The buffer size in kilobytes used by the out object to handle output sent from the compiled JSP page to the client Web browser. The default value is 8kb. If you specify a buffer size, the output is buffered with at least the size you specified.

Jdeveloper jsp compile problem:too large

I am getting following error when i try to run the jsp page(I am using embedded oc4j10.1.3.3)
Error: code segment of method _jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) too large
The jsp is over 2000 lines long.
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks
Kalee

Hi,
you can try and change the compiler to Javac
Also you might want to think about jsp:includes that include JSP snippets from external files at compile time. A JSP with 2000 lines seems to be quite large and may better be broken up into pieces

Compilation Error Code too large for Try block

I am getting error while jsp compilation.
          code too large for try statement.
          Can anybody help me in this. I am using WL 8.1.4
          Thanks in Advance

This article pretty much sums it up: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/JSP/Q_20711819.html
          Your JSP_.java file will not compile to a .class file since the JSP is too large and the newer java compiler is more strict. You have to most likely break your JSP up using includes or use a more efficient design.

Error in jsp:Code too large for try statement

Hi friends,
When i try to run a jsp program i am getting error "code too large for try statement". How can i rectify it rather than truncating that jsp? is there another way?
Basha

Basha,
When we were implenting an e-form component which was very big, the only way we were able to achieve it was by
"jsp includes". In the main form simply included muliple
jsp pages, where each was a section of the e-form.
we have not found any other better way.
Hope this helps.

Error: code too large for try statement, when compiling a big java file.

Hi,
I have a big java file ( around 16000 lines). When compiling it, I got following error message:
MyMain.java:15233: code too large for try statement
} catch ( Throwable t ) {
In MyMain.java, I just repeat following statements about 1000 times.
try {
if ( year >= 2002 ) {
System.out.println( "year: Evaluation version is not valid" );
} else {
System.out.println( "year: Evaluation version is still valid" );
} catch ( Throwable t ) {
if ( year >= 2002 ) {
System.out.println( "year: Evaluation version is not valid" );
} else {
System.out.println( "year: Evaluation version is still valid" );
I tried 1.3 and 1.4 javac compiler, there was some error.
How to make compiler to compile this code?
Thanks,

You don't. Each method has an absolute limit on the number of byte codes. You have reached that limit. The limit is part of the specification and JVMs will refuse to run classes that exceed the limit. So even if you could compile it, it wouldn't run.
It is quite common for code generators to generate large monolithic blocks of code. Presumably this is how you got to this spot. Modify the code generator to break it into smaller blocks.
If you did it manually then you did it wrong. And you will have to manually break it into smaller blocks. (And re-examine your design since it is probably wrong.)

500 Internal Server Error OracleJSP: code too large for try statement catch

We have an application which uses JSPs as front end and we are using Struts 1.1. When we run one of the JSP it shows the following error after executing .We are using OCJ4 server having version 9.0.4.0
500 Internal Server Error

The JSP/application runs okay on one machine (System Tesing machine)with OCJ4 server having version10.1.2.0 but throughs an error on other machine( Development machine)with OCJ4 server having version9.0.4.0.The question is why it is running on one machine ane giving error on other machine I am aware that there can't be more than 64kB of code between try-catch block .Total size of the generated JSP class in our case is 577KB.
Is the problem because of different version of Application server OC4J?.Is it any fix for this? Or Can anyone please suggest a work around. Or is there a method by which the JSP generated code is split between different try - catch blocks rather than a single try-catch block.Utlimately We don't know the whether is it a problem with JVM or hardware .
It would be really helpful if you would provide me with some suggestion and input.
Regards
Shyam

Sir,
I am aware of the limitations of JVM that it won't allow java code more than 64Kb in method but we are using different versions of Application server .Application is working okay with OC4J application server(10.1.2.0) but gives error on Application server with version 9.0.4.0. Is this a problem with OC4J application server 9.0.4.0. I had gone through the documentation ofOC4J 9.0.4.0.application server but it does not mention about the this bug/fixes.
Please giude me on the same.

Code too large for try statement

I have a jsp that I am getting the following exception on.

I am currently running this on Websphere Aplication Developer 5. First off I'm hoping that this error will go away when it is deployed to tomcat. But I wanted to see if anyone has had this problem and knows of a tweek or work around for it.
The jsp in question is not the longest one I have... but it has a large number of drop down list boxes .. using jstl <select><option>. and the drop downs have around 40 or 50 items in them.

in weblogic 8.1, i've met the same error, and solved the problem by adding param to weblogic.xml , like below:
<jsp-descriptor>
     <jsp-param>
          <param-name>noTryBlocks</param-name>
          <param-value>true</param-value>
     </jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>

Code too large for try statement - help :(

Please help :(
          We are migrating our project from an older technology, Kiva from netscape
          (and about time we migrate) . Kiva uses template evaluation similar to
          jakarta velocity. So the fastest way we found was to translate kiva
          templates to JSPs via perl script. All is working fine except a bunch of
          JSPs which are too large for the compiler to handle. If we were not
          migrating and instead wroking from scratch we would have simply made the
          JSP's size smaller and used jsp:include, but in this case it will involve a
          lot of effort as that means changing a lot of business code.
          Basically what we get is "code too large for try statement". Is there anyway
          we can tell weblogic to put smaller code fragments in try/catch when it
          converts a JSP into java code.


          Haider,
          Have you seen the following Sun Bug Parade posting
          http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4210912.html
          Additionally, you may want to try the '-noTryBlocks' jsp compiler switch and see
          if it makes a difference

JSP file is too large to run in TOMCAT 4.1.18

When updating TOMCAT from 3.2.3 to 4.1.18, I got an error message .
After trying, I find TOMCAT 4.1.18 will crash if the .class file is too large.
(These files will run well in TOMCAT 3.2.3)
Test data:(bye adding the code "" into JSP file)
binary code is 209 KB (214,477 ��) -->ok.
binary code is 216 KB (222,079 ��) -->ok.
binary code is 224 KB (230,270 ��) -->false.
The web shows message as below. After I downsize the crash JSP.
It will run perfectly.
But I hope to keep the source "completely".
How could I do for it?
HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error

A Simple solution,
Modulize this JSP page. If you have 5,000+ lines of code in your jsp page, well you might want to consider moving alot of this logic into Beans and or multiple jsp pages and do jsp:includes to the other pages.
I personally recommend that you review your design and break it down into multiple Beans. There really shouldn't be too much code in your JSP pages.
Look into Struts or Web work to get a better understanding of what I am talking about.
Look into MVC designs and Model 2 designs.
I hope this helps.

Jdeveloper Error: "Code too large"

Hi all,
While running a page in Oracle Jdeveloper 10g, I am getting compilation error “Code too large” on ‘processformrequest’ in controller. I tried the below steps from metalink, but I am still getting the error message.
1. Try to compile your page with the standard "javac" Java compiler instead of the "ojc" Java
compiler, as it generates methods a bit smaller.
2. Change the compiler used by the Embedded OC4J:
2.1) Go to "Tools" -> "Embedded OC4J Server Preferences..."
2.2) Under "Global" select "Java Compiler"
2.3) Select "javac" from the "Compiler" list
2.4) Then under "Bin Directory", point to the location of the javac compiler
(usually in the JDK bin directory).
Please let me know if there is any way to resolve this error.
Thanks in Advance,
Saravana

Code too large error

Hi,
I have an enum with about 3000 values in application. When I add some more items I get "code too large" error during compilation.
Is there any workaround for that problem? (Some configuration change?)
What exactly does compiler want to say? Where can I find info about what limit do I exceed?
I will appreciate any kind of help :)
Greetings
Michal

what can you kno? Model of the form is not hardcoded, it is in DB, it is modifiable by user(admin). Only elements which have specific business validation have identifier (i mean enum identifier). They must be somehow identified, not just by number. Number may change if sone adds a question before this one.
What's better than that? The solution has been made before I came to the company, but I believe it is one of the best possible.

i think JVM is not allowing to complie the jsp
please any body give me the solution for it

I've got the same error with Weblogic 8.1 .
When I tried to visit a JSP I wrote, which had many tags, the page showed the error: code too large for try statement.
I'v reviewed a lot of discussions through the internet and solved the problem at last by adding one parameter to weblogic.xml.
<jsp-descriptor>

Code too large Problem

Hi,
I am facing the problem of code too large in EP6 SP9 version and EP6 SP2 version. Is there a way to solve this problem.
Is this problem solved in the latest version EP6 SP12.
Please help me out in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
Padmaja.P

I had this same problem, JSP code generated is too big. I had the problem on SP11. OSS Note 820282 tells you to change the jsp.bigmode.delimit.size = 10000. This did not work for me. I opened an OSS note about it. They told me to set it to "1". After that, it worked. I took them 3 weeks to tell me to set it to "1", in the meantime, I changed my <formlayout> tags to standard HTML, to get around the problem. I don't know if SP12 has fixed this issues or not.

HELP!!! Error "code too large"

Hello, I am working on a program that has become very large... and apparently it is too large now...
When I try to compile the program it generates an error, "code too large", the code has exceeded 10000 lines and now I dont know what to do. Anyone that has any ideas? Thankful for any response...

Let's say, for instance, that I wnat to initialize an array instance variable that will contain 7462 integer values in my constructor, just as an example. I'm not really sure if this exceeds the maximum size for a java array, but if it does that would be just as useless a restriction as this "code too large" thing. If I write huge code that means I need huge code. [ goes to write program in C, which would be my advice here. :) ]
