I was encountering An error occurred at line: 384 in the generated java file The code of method

_jspService(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)

is exceeding the 65535 bytes limit.

I have tried several solution around the web and issue still persists.

I am using Jboss-5.1.0 GA as the server.

Here are the stacktrace of the error.

Your JSP is too large / too complicated. You need to refactor it

We tried refactoring but its not working are there any alternate solutions?

No.

The problem is that there is a hard limit imposed by the Java virtual machine specification on the number of bytes of bytecode in a compiled Java method. (Specifically, the classfile format uses a 16 bit number as the sides of the method's code array.)

Java compilers are not able to automatically split a method that is too large into sub-methods. You have to do it yourself at the source code level.

With JSPs, the JSP compiler translates each JSP into a class with a single (large) Java method, unless you can refactor it by either moving some of logic into separate methods, classes or ... JSPs using "dynamic includes"; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/5484509/139985.)

  • Thanks @Stephen for the reply..when I try to use dynamic include instead of include directive it is throwing a classnotfoundexception. can you please suggest me any other alternative ways. – Jeevana Anubrolu Oct 24 '19 at 13:09
  • I don't know any other alternatives apart from the two that I have mentioned. I suggest you figure out **why** you are getting `ClassNotFoundException` and try to fix that. – Stephen C Jan 03 '22 at 00:06
