Why does Tomcat 8.0.36 compile huge JSPs fine but precompiling JSPs
with jspc + javac fails with 'code too large' error? And how to fix it?
Hi!
We're working on moving an old legacy Servlet/JSP web app from WebSphere to
Tomcat to cut our expenses. I figured out that the latest version of Tomcat
where our web app runs without 'The code of method
_jspService(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) is exceeding the 65535
bytes limit' error is 8.0.36. I also needed to tune some init-params in
${TOMCAT8.0.36.HOME}/conf/web.xml for JspServlet section:
<init-param>
<param-name>mappedfile</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>classdebuginfo</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>displaySourceFragment</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>dumpSmap</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>suppressSmap</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>trimSpaces</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
I also figured out that it is jasper.jar and jasper-el.jar which somehow
serve to precompile JSPs. So if I replace $TOMCAT9_HOME/lib/jasper.jar and
$TOMCAT9_HOME/lib/jasper-el.jar with $TOMCAT8.0.36_HOME/lib/jasper.jar and
$TOMCAT8.0.36_HOME/lib/jasper-el.jar respectively I'll get our legacy web
app running on Tomcat 9 as well without that '64k bytes limit' error.
But when I follow this suggestion to precompile JSPs using Tomcat 8.0.36
distr dir as ${tomcat.home} I am getting 'error: code too large public
void _jspService(final javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, final
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)' error. I added all the
init-params to jasper ant task I added to JspServlet section in
${TOMCAT8.0.36.HOME}/conf/web.xml but still precompilation fails
<jasper
validateXml="false"
mappedFile="false"
smapDumped="false"
smapSuppressed="true"
trimSpaces="true"
classdebuginfo="false"
uriroot="${webapp.path}"
failOnError="false"
webXmlFragment="${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml"
outputDir="${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/src" />
I also tried running the <jasper /> task without 'compiler' attribute and
changing 'compiler' attribute to all possible values mentioned here:
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html#compilervalues but looks
like it doesn't affect the task at all.
I tried it with ant 1.9.15 and with 1.9.7 and still got that 'code too
large' error.
Can you please tell why Tomcat 8.0.36 compiles huge JSPs fine but
precompiling JSPs with jspc + javac fails with code too large error? And
how to fix it? Thank you!
I also raised this question on StackOverflow but still haven't got any
answers: https://stackoverflow.com/q/62955156/6807541
Kind Regards,
Maks.

Cold you also please tell how to run it via ant? How to define such an ant
task?

It is ecj-*.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/lib in your Tomcat installation.

Thank you for your reply.
Please advise where do I get that Eclipse Compiler for Java? Cannot find
it via google.

Unlikely.
What you will get is a completely unsupported configuration that may
exhibit subtle bugs that you will have sole responsibility for fixing.
If you really want to go that route and you are happy that it works for
you then, fair enough, that is your choice. But if you go down that
route you are entirely on your own.

Possibly because Tomcat doesn't use javac to compile JSPs. At least not
by default. It uses the Eclipse Compiler for Java.
I suspect your time would be better spent refactoring the JSPs that are
currently exceeding the 64k limit and then running on a supported
configuration.
