Hello:

Please help! What could be the problem?

I got the running time error for the following code:
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );

ERROR:

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError is the superclass of java.lang.InstantiationError amongst others. My guess (and it is a guess) would be that the class "com.acme.foo" doesn't exist. That's looks like a package name anyway, or something you've just left in out of an example (unless you changed it to post).

Hope that helps.

Wouldn't you get a ClassNotFoundException if the class didn't exist?

Hmmm, say what you mean Jules! :roll: I mean the class can't be instantiated, i.e. it's an abstract class or interface.

Has anybody use JAXB before? The method is as follows, it's
contextPath, not class:

static JAXBContext newInstance(java.lang.String contextPath)

I got a similar error some time ago. In that case it was because I had compiled using a different library than the one I was using when I ran the program.

Looking closer on the error I would think that the class com.acme.foo implements an earlier (or later) version of the desired class.

Heh, sorry 'bout that. Havent used JAXB; I was guessing based on the error you got. Either way I still think it has something to do with version incompatibility.

Hi Sarah,

Yes, sorry about the uninformed postings. I feel a sense of responsibility for making a mess of your thread.

Have you read the API doc entry for JAXBContext and the newInstance() method? There are a couple of references in there to jaxb.properties and the javax.xml.bind.context.factory property that might be the root of your problem.

Hope that goes some way towards making amends.

Jules
