Hi! I managed to solve this issue this morning (isn't it wonderful what a hat full sleep does to you? ;-)), and would like to share my solution with the rest of you.
The problem was two fold: 1. We use the bnd tool to package our bundles. Aparently bnd does not pick up on the JAXB dependency when not explicitly specified. Stating an import for "com.sun.xml.*" did not cause the correct entries to be generated in the manifest. My guess is, that this is due to some reflection magic that might be happening under the hood of JAXB. I fixed this, by explicitly addind the package "com.sun.xml.internal.bind" (without the wildcard) to the bnd file. 2. Now that the correct import is generated for my bundle, I can use the " system.packages.extra" property instead of the boot delegation. So far, everything seems to be working now. bye, Michael > Hi list, > > I seem to have a rather specific problem with using JAXB inside the Felix > framework. > > Here's my situation: > > - Felix Framework 2.0.0 > - Java 1.6.0_18 > - JAXB included in the JDK (2.1.10 according to xjc -version) > > I want to use JAXB in a bundle I am developing. > > Now, I first stumbled into the typical error everybody has, where you do > not set the classloader and JAXB is missing its ObjectFactory.class. > The solution to this issue is rather straight forward, as you have to > provide the correct classloader to JAXB.
