JAXB 2 - InvocationTargetException creating JAXB context

[Cornelius Reckinger]

Howdy,

I've created a package of classes from an existing schema and I've built a Struts 2 action to test the unmarshalling, which is throwing a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException. Here is the unmarshal code:

 JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance("com.company.persistence.foo.IssueResponse");
			Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller(  );
			SO000902 so902 = (SO000902) unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File("902.xml"));
			System.out.println(so902.getISSNBR());    

The com.company.persistence.foo.IssueResponse package contains the following classes (generated using XJC):
SO000902.java
ObjectFactory.java

I've been searching for a solution and trying different "hacks" for hours now and I fear that I'll end up over at Experts Exchange - Noooooo!

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Full Stacktrace? Also I'm not a JAXB expert, but is setting your context to be a 'package' the right thing to do?

Howdy folks,

I found the solution. It turns out that when using JAXB 2.0 in your project that you not only need to include the JAXB jar files (jaxb-api, jaxb-impl, and jaxb-xjc) to your classpath, but you also need jsr-173_1.0_api.jar from the XMLBeans package.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing, that's a good one to know alright!
