Question

I have added one condition on my HTML page that is

#{if userObject == null}
<a href="/login">Text</a>
#{/if}

The code is working fine on the dev mode and getting this error in PROD mode.

SEVERE: Cannot start in PROD mode with errors
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid method Code length 65561 in class file Template_M1175588447$_run_closure1_closure2

Is there any way out on this

Answer 1

I believe your issue is not related to the code you added, but to having a template “too big” that goes over the allowed lines size (in Java) for a method.

Probably you are xtending big templates or your page is really long.
