Issue

Under certain conditions, ColdFusion can throw a java.lang.VerifyError due to nested coding.   This can be caused in the following conditions, examples:

1. nested cftry/cfcatch/cffinally block
2. using a nested cffinally when on WebSphere with JDK1.5 on Microsoft Windows
3. using nested <cfthrow>/throw 

The following sample shows how the code may be structured when recieiving this exception:

<cftry>
   .... do code ...

  <cfcatch type="any">
    <cftry>
       .... do code ...

      <cfcatch type="any">
        <cftry>
           .... do code ...

          <cfcatch type="any">
             .... do code ...
          </cfcatch>

          <cffinally>
              .... do code ...
          </cffinally>
        </cftry>
      </cfcatch>
    </cftry>
  </cfcatch>
</cftry>

Reason

This is a known issue.  

Solution

Remove the levels of nesting in the your code.
