code too large for try statement for a JSP to compile

[Shekhar]

Hi Java Ranchers ,
I am facing a typical problem with WAS 4.0.3
The JSP is not getting compiled as it is complaining that the code is too large for the try statement.
Is this a bug with WAS .
Please let me know if there is some fix pack for this
The error in detail is as follows :
C:\WebSphere\AppServer\temp\swagh\Default_Server\EP102\cs70_banking.war\common\transact\user\_reorder_5F_checks_jsp_1.java:420: code too large for try statement
try {
^

This is not a WAS bug rather a java limitation. Try splitting up the try catch statemtnts into multiple smaller blocks of try catch. Details of this limiation can be found on IBM's site below:

A code too large for try statement error can still be issued while compiling a JSP. The compiler limitation does not allow try/catch blocks to have a start or end location greater than 64 K into the method code. Therefore, compiler limitations are usually caught when a try/catch block overlaps the 64 K boundary.
