Method code too large

[ortizman]

I have a very large document (more than 200 forms). The first forms worked without problems. Currently I started to give the following error

Method code too large!

Stack:
groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Failed to parse template script (your template may contain an error or be trying to use expressions not currently supported): startup failed: General error during class generation: Method code too large!

For what you can see is a limitation of the size of Java methods

Any known workarround?

Okay. In case someone has the same problem. Overrride the processCleanedTemplate method of the DocxTemplater class to add a new expression "<! = BREAK!>"
in this way, I batch process the docx scripts and it allows me to scale to large document

Could you attack example of the document?
