JAXB Marshalling error

Question

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected class ja vax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType but found class javax.xml.bind.annotation. AccessType

I am getting this error when i am trying to marshal a JAXB object to XML. Can anyone please provide any hints.

Answer 1

This error often occurs when the JAXB annotation class is from a different ClassLoader than the ClassLoader the JAXB implement is using. If you are inside an OSGi enviroment make sure that you import the javax.xml.bind.annotation package in your MANIFEST.MF file.
