json encoder/decoder generator - method exceeds 65536 bytes problem

[Mike]

Hello,

In my project we use abstract class DTO with more than 70 children, and each children has plenty of fields.

Recently after adding new field I've got an error, that DTO_Generated_JsonEncoderDecoder.decode method exceeds the JVM mithod size limit.

As a workaround, inside the generator I placed a HashMap <String, Callable>, in decode method put generated code to callables, than this callables put to hashmap by classname.

When new object received, callable called from hashmap and fields are filled.

I don't think that my code is suitable for patch, but the idea should be useful and solves the problem.

Please consider its implementation.

Best regards,

Michael

6 years later and we ran into the same issue. I've worked through the RestyGWT code and modified how some of the generator works using static * import and removing the full class path reference to the AbstractJsonEncoderDecoder as well as switched up some of the null check logic.
