Hello,
I have following problem with compiling a large JSP:
<i>
Error: 500
Location: /eSUH/Haft.jsp
Internal Servlet Error:
java.lang.VerifyError: (class: Haft_1, method: _jspService signature: (Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V) Illegal target of jump or branch

at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1596)
at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:492)
</i>....and so on!

I'm working with Struts 1.0.2 and Tomcat 3.3 . This JSP is very large with a lot of Custom- and bean:message-Tags. Is there a restriction in the number of using tags?
Have anybody got any ideas?
What can I do? Instead of the message-tags shall I use "hard-coded" literals?

This is because the JSPC compiler has a limit on the size of the file you can compile. Either move some code into compiled includes <jsp:include... or using Jikes will fix this problem.
