VM crashes with big class files generated of JSPs

Question

          Hi,
          When calling certain JSP pages with WebLogic Server 5.1 (SP 6) the HotSpot Virtual Machine (JDK1.3) crashes with a core dump.
          Using WebLogic as the JSP engine produces of every JSP page one java file which
          is compiled with javac to one class file. Each generated java file consists of
          just one method: _jspService(...){...}. One method is allowed to be of 64 K
          (the dynamic part 32 K as maximum). As we include other JSP pages and
          components and use taglibraries, the WebLogic JSP engine generates a very big
          java file (more than 1 MB). Javac compiles this to a class file which only
          method exceeds the 64 K limit. As the javac compiler does not reject the class
          file with the to big method the virtual machine crashes.
          Running the same JSP page on Windows NT 4 with WebLogic Server 5.1 (Service Pack 6)
          and JDK 1.3 BUT using the java option -classic works.
          Unfortunately it seems that there is no -classic option for java on Solaris for JDK1.3.
          Using JDK1.2 (JDK_1.2.2_05a) on Solaris or the jikes compiler of Jakarta
          causes an exception instead of a core dump but still does not work.
          Using solaris jdk1.2.2_05a the same page request results in the following exception:
          Tue Nov 21 09:08:16 CET 2000:<I> <WebAppServletContext-maxblue> Generated java file:
          /opt/tadevw/maxblue/weblogic/maxblue_cluster/maxblue_server/public_html/WEB-INF/_tmp_war/jsp_servlet/_portfolio/_PortfolioMyportfolio.java
          Tue Nov 21 09:08:24 CET 2000:<E> <WebAppServletContext-maxblue> Servlet failed with Exception
          java.lang.VerifyError: (class: jsp_servlet/_portfolio/_PortfolioMyportfolio, method:
          _jspService signature: (Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V) Illegal target of jump or branch
          Is there a way that the JSP engine of WebLogic creates/generates
          more than one function? (Without reengineering of the source code?)
          Regards,
          Boris

Thank you! I had no idea. But what is a FAT32 drive? Is it the work bench in the Mac, that is used for the transfering between the external hard drives? Is there any way around this then?
I thought in these HD home movie days, that this was an easy thing dealt with everyday. I still need to understand what practical solutions I can find. The files are .mov - quicktime files.
It couldn't be the case that files larger than 4BG should be locked in the hard drive forever?
