Support - Error cod data section too large

Summary




This article applies to the BlackBerry® Java™ Development Environment (JDE).


Problem




You receive the following error:

cod data section too large





Cause

A class definition contains too many string literals.





Resolution

Instead of splitting up the project into libraries, associate some of the strings with other class definitions.

Refer to the following examples:

Original definition

public class A {
     String foo() {
          return "abcdefg";
     }

     String bar() {
          return "hijklmn";
     }
}Modified definitions
class S1 {
     final static string FOO = "abcdefg";
}

class S2 {
     final static string BAR = "hijklmn";
}

public class A {
     String foo() {
          return S2.FOO;
     }

     String bar() {
          return S2.BAR;
     }
}

Thus, the string definitions are associated with separate classes, which the RAPC compiler (rapc.exe) can distribute amongst the siblings.
