Thread: Manually add a exception table entry

Hi,
I use Javassist to manually add a exception table entry:

MethodInfo minfo = (MethodInfo) aclasscf.getMethods().get(0);
CodeAttribute ca = minfo.getCodeAttribute();
ExceptionTable et = ca.getExceptionTable();
et.add(26, 30, 40, 0);
System.out.println("exception table size: " + et.size());

If I get the bytecode with javap it seems to work:

Exception Table
from to target type
26   30 40     any

But the problem is that I can't run the file anymore. Simply running it with the java command results in "java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 13". After some research this seems to be a problem with java 7 and a stricter verifier. I read several times that java -XX:-UseSplitVerifier should be used instead.
This really fixed the stackmap error, but then another error appeared: "java.lang.VerifyError: (class: AClass, method: signature: ()V) Inconsistent stack height 0 != 1". Are there any further steps required to insert a new exception in the exception table?
Additional info: Later I want to remove gotos (in this case the goto at line 27) and add a function call instead. When this function finishes it will throw a exception and propagate it back to the caller (which will be at line 27). Then the program should go on as if nothing happend, that is also the reason why the target of the exception is the same as the target of the goto (40)

EDIT:
I just found out that I have to use the absolute address for the exception table entrys target. (=40)
Changed that everywhere in the post and also added the bytecode after the inserted exception table.

Here is the bytecode before inserting the exception table entry:

   0: aload_0       
   1: invokespecial #8                  // Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
   4: iconst_0      
   5: istore_1      
   6: goto          19
   9: getstatic     #10                 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
  12: iload_1       
  13: invokevirtual #16                 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(I)V
  16: iinc          1, 1
  19: iload_1       
  20: bipush        20
  22: if_icmplt     9
  25: iconst_1      
  26: istore_1      
  27: goto          40
  30: getstatic     #10                 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
  33: iload_1       
  34: invokevirtual #16                 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(I)V
  37: iinc          1, 1
  40: iload_1       
  41: bipush        20
  43: if_icmplt     30
  46: return

Here is the bytecode afert inserting the exception table entry:

       0: aload_0       
       1: invokespecial #8                  // Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
       4: iconst_0      
       5: istore_1      
       6: goto          19
       9: getstatic     #10                 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
      12: iload_1       
      13: invokevirtual #16                 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(I)V
      16: iinc          1, 1
      19: iload_1       
      20: bipush        20
      22: if_icmplt     9
      25: iconst_1      
      26: istore_1      
      27: goto          40
      30: getstatic     #10                 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
      33: iload_1       
      34: invokevirtual #16                 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(I)V
      37: iinc          1, 1
      40: iload_1       
      41: bipush        20
      43: if_icmplt     30
      46: return        
    Exception table:
       from    to  target type
          26    30    40   any
