Description

I am initialising the GStringTemplate with the contens of a large (>64K)
file and getting the following error:
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Unknown constant tag 121 in class file
groovy/tmp/templates/GStringTemplateScript11$_getTemplate_closure1

I am using the following Groovy script step with code:
import groovy.text.*

def binding = [wid: "123123123"]
def engine = new GStringTemplateEngine()
def template = engine.createTemplate(new
File("test_message1.xml")).make(binding)
println template.toString()

The message is attached as well.
