Hi,
I am deploying a WS under tomcat 5.5 and Java JDK is 1.5.0_08. I use some external jars that include code which was generated with JAXB 2.1 (using Ant XJC Task). The code is built from the xml schema without any error using the same JAXB libs as used in Axis2: jaxb-xjc-2.1.7.jar activation-1.1.jar jaxb-api-2.1.jar jaxb-impl-2.1.7.jar jsr173_api.jar When calls (client requests) to the server are made, the code try to get a marshaller for a class that is derived from the schema myMarshaller = JAXBContext.newInstance(fromShema.class.getPackage().getName()).createMa rshaller(); Upon creation of the JAXBContext, the server throws the exception: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError . . . Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: "com.mobixell.mwc.acquisitionconfiguration.schema" doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index . . . Caused by: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: "com.mobixell.mwc.acquisitionconfiguration.schema" doesnt contain ObjectFactory.class or jaxb.index at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory.createContext(ContextFactory.java:183 ) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.jav a:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessor Impl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at javax.xml.bind.ContextFinder.newInstance(ContextFinder.java:133) at javax.xml.bind.ContextFinder.find(ContextFinder.java:286) at javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(JAXBContext.java:372) at javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(JAXBContext.java:337) at javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(JAXBContext.java:244) at com.mobixell.mwc.psm.AcquisitionDatabase.<init>(AcquisitionDatabase.java :69) ... 14 more Originally, the auto-generated jars were not created with the jaxb.index file. I understand that it is not a must to have a jaxb.index if you have an ObjectFactory class. However, I tried adding the appropriate jaxb.index files anyway, and it still doesn't work. Any ideas why Axis2 has problems with the JAXB generated classes? I am really lost on that one and would appreciate any help. Thanks! Oded
