'code too large for try statement'-error message

I am involved in supervising a JavaServer-Pages-Application.
Everything worked out perfectly since about 2 years, but now we suddenly
get the following error message when our jsp-files are being compiled :

'code too large for try statement'

I've read somewhere, that actually there is a limit of 64K for such a try-code-segment, but however - is there an opportunity of increasing this limit up to a higher boundary ?
Maybe some configuration-parameter within the compiler or something like that ?

What Web/App Server you are running with.

If its Weblogic 8.1 please look at the below URL.

Few suggested Solutions over there are:

1. Refactor the JSP page into smaller page and use include directive

2.Use the -noTryBlocks switch for JSPC, see
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/jsp/reference.html

3. Try the solution suggested at

Hi,

Pls let me know if this is specifically related to WebLogic 8.1 ... I have a file with around 1500 lines inside a try block and its working fine on 7.1

1500 lines in a try block???

maybe you should submit some of that here

Refactoring is my best bet.

I do agree that this jsp file with 1500 lines inside a try block is totally against the norms ...
Just to complete the discussion, this problem arises on WL 8.1 SP3.
It seems to be working fine with SP1 and SP2.

Swapnil.
